The Port Darwin line is interrupted North of Katherine. - From various signs to be observed among authorities in the abipping world of the United Kingdom, it would appear to he not at all unlikely that the present method of -giving ordere to the man at the wheel (a method which works by •" rule of contrary •") ■will be abolished in favor of a more reasonable and simple plan, by which the present chances of misunderstanding an order at a critical. time, when on error means a. general smash and loss of life, will be reduced to their smallest limit In the days when " starboard " and " larboard " (afterwards j altered to port), were first . employed, the I tiller waa the almost invariable means by -which the rudder was worked, and as it had to be moved in the opposite direction to that in which the rudder aud vessel's head were required to turn, the words' of command indicated on which •••fide the tiller was to be pushed, and -were, a plain., direction to the helmsman which be__could not mistake. Now-a-daya, where the steering by a wheel is completely the rule, the above words of. commaod,ace>conf using, and. liable to cause error.— Australasian Shipping Netrs. The following details are received of the loss of the steamship Emily B. Souder. A leak was .discovered, at njne o'clock .on the morning of tbe 10th, and the deckload was thrown overboard At 11, the crew began throwing overboard the cargo in the hold. At 5 o'clock in the evening the wind was blowing half a hurricane, and saving the vessel became hopeless. Four boats were got out. One was found useless. The first boat, containing the first mate, John Christen, Geoige Scan and five passeugers, was swamped alongside. The second boat, in which were Engineer Booth, two of tbe crew, one baby, and several passengers, drifted away. The third boat containing the Purser and others, also drifted clear. At 10 o'clock a Jife-raft was constructed and the Captain, Chief Engineer, second mate and two pas-jengers left the vessel on it. Of the six persons remaining, Theodore Stinert, 0. A. Anderson, and one passenger" left on the floatiog hatch, leaving two cooks and one passenger whom it was impossible to help, as the steamer -disappeared three minutes afterWard. At daybreak on the I lth, Stinert and Anderson were alone. . ,No boat* nor bodies were in sight, nothing but floating cargo. The two men saved were rescued at 5 o'clock in the evening by a schooner bound to Jamaica. ' "
