' ~"~ On the Rosamond's trip from Wellington to Picton on Tuesday a fire broke out in No. 3 hold, out the cargo was not seriously damaged. Sne left Nelson for New Plymoutu yesterday afternoon and is due here this morning with 164 tons of cargo. It is understood that the New Plymouth cargo on the Rosamond is not severely damaged, if at all; but m any case Lloyds' representative will survey it on arrival this morning.

THE RARAWA. The Rarawa brought 61 tons of cargo from lOnehunga yesterday morning, including 9 tons of manure, 13 tons of cement, 4 tons of sugar, 2 tons of flour, and 400- cases of fruit. THE PORT OF PATEA. The Pa tea Press states, that considerable difficulty has been experienced of late in shipping meat from the port, and believes this is due to the fact that the local coastal boats have as much as they can possibly do to keep the port clear of wool, cheese and butter. 1 The paper adds: "Judging by the way the trade of the port has increased it certainly looks as though the time was about ripe for another steamer to join the trade, but whether there is enough to keep them all going throughout the year is quite another thing. At the present time it is very difficult to find shipping space for the cargo' otiering, and several complaints have been made of general cargo having been left behind."

■ The Kotu will make a special :rip from Wellington to New Plymouth with general cargo, returning to WaVingtoi on Friday. .The year 1910 ranics as one of the blackest and most disastrous that Lloyd's has ever experienced. The losses on big shipwrecks amounted to £3,000,000 for the year, whilst the insurances paid over minor disasters came to more than that. In all, more than £0,000,000 was paid out during the year. The biggest disasters recorded were those of the Pericles, which lost the underwriters £050,000, the Waratah, whjeh was insured for £300,000, and the Kurdistna, over which a similar amount was paid.
