The Rosamond arrived, (from Onehung a on Saturday morning and loaded her cargo of 2500 crates of cheese. She got away at 1.30 p.m. for Wellington. where she tranships her car2o ro the Arawa, for London. THE VANCOUVER SERVICE. The reinstatement of the Maitai in the Sydney-Brisbane-Vancouver trade will pronably be for temporary purposes only (says the Wellington Post), and after the present trip the steamer will I most likely be withdrawn again. b. | many quarters she is regarded as an I unsuitable vessel, being overshadowed in speed and luxury of appointments by | several later steamers, and her use, even 1 in the intercolonial trade, would he, merely for relieving purposes. The re-! tirement of the Aorangi and the wreck i of the Waikare have created a shortage j f ot modern passenger vessels, and it has • been said that the company's fleet is| .reduced to the point where, if the ser- j vices remain at present, the securing of' a new steamer will be necessary, ft is 1 not expected that the question will be 1 decided until it is known how the contract for the Vancouver mail fares. At any rate, the Manuka i s to be with- i drawn from the intercolonial running, and she sails from Sydney for Brisbane and Vancouver on the 9th May. The question of -her successor has not yet been settled. The Union Steamship Co. is obtaining another steamer, to be similar to the R.M.S. Makura, for the All-Red line, but this vo=sel will not be ready for an appreciable time yet. A MISSING BARQUE. An old Norwegian barque, which, like j so many other vessels of the same type, was at one time a British ship, has been j posted at Lloyd's as missing. It is the Signe, of Fredrikstad, an iron barque of 801 tons net, and she has disappeared on a passage across the North Sea. Slie left Kotka on her last voyage on Octobe,. 23 for London, and on Novemoer, 1 G passed Elsiniore. All later news in regard to her is that of an omino-is character, and relates almost entirely to the discovery of the dead bodies of those who shipped on her. Soon after the vessel left Elsinore a Swedish steamer picked up from among wreckage two dead bodies bearing lifebelts marked "Signe." A little later other bodies supposed to have come from the barque drifted ashore at Cuxliavon and Vliehors. Not often is it that so many distressing reports are received in regard to the drownea crew of a missing vessel. The Signe was built at Dumbarton in ISRS, and was originally known as the Duke of Argvll. She was owned by Acties "Signe." and her skipper's name was C. J. Olsen. OVERSEA VESSELS TO ARRIVE AT .!
