The Rotoiti left Onchimga for New Plymouth at 4.10 p.m. on Monday, but had to put back on ac- i •count of the rough weather on the Manukau bar. t The German steamer Ebbing had an exciting time in the German Ocean, being found on fire at the height of a hurricane. After arduous work the crew confined the (ire to the forehokl and extinguished it. A quantity of cargo was jettison- ' ed. Several of the crew were injured by heavy seas. Tha TaVapuna, arriving at midday to-day from Wellington, and Nel- ' son, brings about 100 toris'of cargo. The local office of'the Vni'on S.S. * Company is advised that the Rotoiti was to leave Onehunga at four o'clock this morning, so that she should arrive here between four and five this evening. She brings about 90 tons of cargo, and after discharging, proceeds south at about seven o'clock. A train will leave fown for the breakwater at 11.20 this morning to ' meet the Takapuna, from South, and the usual train will leave at 9.30 to-night to connect with the same [.vessel for North. H.M.S. Sealark, formerly the yacht Consuelo, belonging, to Mr Vandcr- \ bilt, which was puichascd by the Ad- ' -mPralty somo time ago for the pur- . pose of a surveying vessel for the ' Australian naval station, was comniissdonied on Sept. 15, at Ports- . mouth, by Commander H. B. Somer- *■ ville. On leaving Portsmouth, the Sealatfc will first proceed to the Modi- , terranean, whero she will probably be employed for a short period ki tho neighbourhood of Suda Bay. Thjs .. winter will be passed in surveying ' duties in the Red Sea, and in the qjring the ship will arrive in Colombo, where Mr Stanley Gardner and Mr. Foster Cooper will join her, these . gentlemen having received permission ' from the Admiralty to embark in the Sealark for tho purpose of obtaining a series of deep-sea drcdigings in the Indian Ocean. On leaving Colombo, tire ship will proceed to Australia, and during the passage, which will occupy some months, deep-sea soundings and dredging* will be taken and Various uninhabited islands vitftcd. ~t is not expected that the Sealark will reach the Australian station until nearly tho end of next rear.
