The Direction of the Bureau Veritas has just published the following statistics of maritime disasters reported during the month of January, 1883, concerning all dags :—Sailing vessels reported lost; 6 American, 3 Austrian, 69 British, 1 Chilian, 3 Danish, 2 Dutch, 11 French, 13 German, 4 Greek, 11 Italian, 12 Norwegian, 4 Portuguese, 2 Russian, 1 Spanish, 5 Swedish—total, 147. In this number are included 15 vessels reported missing. Steamers reported lost: 1 American, 8 British, 1 Danish, 4 French, 2 German, 2 Italian, 1 Portuguese, 2 Swedish—total, 21. In this number are included two steamers reported missing. The Rotorua having (says the Auckland •' Star ” of May 29th) completed a very extensive overhaul at Dunedin, has taken over the Penguin’s West Coast running, and will arrive in the Mannkan shortly, in charge of Captain Anderson. The intercolonial boats will for a short time call at Gisborne on the northward tripe in alternate weeks only, but connection with Southern ports will be made by the Taiaroa, which resumes her special East Coast service on Friday, Ist prox., from Port Chalmers. The Suva, 'on her return from Fiji, will be employed on the East Coast to relieve the through steamers of coast cargo work, and as there will then be three extra boats running on the East Coast—the Taiaroa, Suva, and Southern Cross—the intercolonial steamers will be left more at liberty to deal with the passenger and through cargo traffic. An Australian paper learn, that the barque Athena from Wallaroo, which arrived at Newcastle, New Mouth Wales, on the 14th May, report, that during a gale two seamen were sent aloft to senn down the upper yards. While thus engaged the mainmast was rolled clean out of the vessel, throwing the run into the air. Robert., one of the men, caught hold of the rigging, and was saved, but the other man, Hyde, wee thrown from the main royal yard arm into the sea, falling upon his stomach with each force that all his clothing came off as if cut with a knife. The dingy, in charge of the mate and two men, put off to rescue the man at great risk, as a perfect hurricane was raging at the time. After three-quar-ters of an hour’s exertion, Hyde was found and hauled into the boat. He had his jackknife strung round him, which he had had to use to defend himself against a large shakk that was circling round him. The men in the boat had to keep the brute off with their oars while they dragged Hyde ■ into their boat. The barque sustained grea' damage to her rigging, besides the loss of the masts, and several spars, MOVEMENTS OF U.S.B. CO.’S STEAMERS, For Auckland and Rum.ll —Wairarapa, Sunday, 10th June.
