She sails on Wednesday for Bluff and Dunedin. This is the first steamer to inaugurate the short service between the East Coast and Grey. A curious order has just been issued by the British Admiralty. It appears that many sailors have been in the habit of wearing steel stretchers in their caps, and that instances have been reported of these stretchers becoming strongly magnetised, and when worn close to the ship's compasses, deflecting the needle to a dangerous extent. The wearing of such stretchers is therefore forbidden in future.
