THE BIGGEST SIP. H the announced measurements are compared, the new Hamiburgt-American liner to be Ibuiit in Germany will be considerably the longest and widest ever constructed. She is to lhave a length of 870 ft and a breadth of 95ft, ais against 840 ft and 90ft respectively .in the case of tihe leviathan White Star liners. The figures respecting the Olympic and the Titanic were published a little while back in what looked like an official statement, and although it is possible that they have been altered, the probability is that they have not. Perihaps the public is not interested in exact measurement, but they are a little important in view of. the confessed determination of the Germans to own the biggest ship in the world.

The schooner Isabella de Fraine, which put in here for shelter some time ago, ia to load produce in the south for Waitara on behalf of Hatrick & Co.

The Alexander, wihich left here on Friday evening for Greymouth, put into Westpont on Saturday owing to stress of weather.

"It is not generally Iknown," says the Christchurch Press, "that the snail steamer Moa (wihich, by the way, has been a frequent visitor to New Plymouth with coal), was practically built at Lytitelton forty-six year® ago. Slhe was brought out from Glasgow in sections, and was.built at Coraair Bay, and launched from the slip there in 1864. She was a very small iron vessel ,and for some years she was a regular trader between and Kaiapoi. She was afterwards purchased by Wellington owners, and trasferred her sphere of activity to that port. In 1884 she was considerably altered, and was lengthened to 118.9 ft. She is at present owned by the Wellington and Wanganui Steam Packet Company. It is said that it is now over thirty yeara since tiie M>a was last at iLyttelton."
