Figures show that on 110 steamers from which returns have been furnished, the amount paid in claims in cargo shipped from the United Kingdom was £11,139, averaging 2s 2d a ton of cargo carried. This represents the amount paid a ton of pilferage cargo only, as distinct from “non-pilferage” cargo, such as iron, etc. WIRRAL IN PORT.—An arrival at Auckland yesterday afternoon was the tramp steamer Wirral, from New York, via Suva.

SLANTS ON THE SHIPPING WORLD. —From the “Journal de la Marine Marchande’ ’are gleaned a number of interesting slants on the world of shipping, and from this journal they are passed on to our readers in the following bits. In Sweden there exists a boat which claims to have reached the venerable age of 128 years, and yet does not feel the pinch of time or any the worse for her longevity. This boat, the Lisa, of 75 tons, was built in 1799. Her age reflects itself in an inclination toward progress, and a refusal to submit to senility, for the Lisa was past her 100th year when she had an auxiliary engine installed, with which is continuing to-day her service. An English company, the Manor Line, of London, whose capital amounts to £30,000, in shares of £1 each, has only two stockbrokers, Mr. Claud Angel, who is owner of 29,999 shares, and Mrs. C. M. Angel, who holds one share. The board of directors does not risk the danger of being confronted with a minority vote during its general meetings. It would scarcely be right to say that the English company, the Mondrich Steamship Company, Ltd., is overcapitalised, inasmuch as it owns two steamships of 14,263 tons, 3 9 years old, with a capital of £3 in three shares of £1 each. BARON FAIRLIE ARRIVES. The tramp steamer Baron Fairlie, which arrived in Auckland last evening from Antwerp with a cargo of basic slag for discharge at Auckland New Plymouth, berthed at King’s Wharf this morning to commence unloading. Antwerp was left on March 18 and for the first ten days of the run to Panama south-westerly gales were encountered. The vessel called at St. Thomas on April 5, and five days later arrived at Panama. Passage through the canal was granted the same day, and the ship left Colon the same day. More gales were encountered on the voyage to Auckland, and when three days’ steam from Auckland very severe weather was experienced, which continued until yesterday morning. Speed was reduced to five knots. This is the Baron Fairlie’s first visit to Auckland. Her voyages in the past have been mostly between England and India.

Captain D. M. Reid Is in command of the Baron Fairlie, and associated with him are the following officers:—Chief, Mr. H. L. Stears; second, Mr. J. M. Cumming; third, Mr. R. Thompson; chief engineer, Mr. J. H. Grey; second, Mr. A. Vinters; third, Mr. R. Neil; fourth, Mr. N. Wardil; fifth, Mr. F. Ingram; wireless operator, Mr. W. Ash.
