As showing the profits that are being made by oversea boats, a correspondent gives the following particulars:— A sailing boat was purchased in America about a. year ago for £SOOO, refitted at a small cost, and recently arrived in New Zealand with a freight cargo, for which the owner received £30,000; and the boat is now, or a week or two back was, for sale at £45,000. The war has made a marked difference in the remuneration of seamen who sail from'the port of London. While their wages remain the'same as before the war; about 35s a week, the war risk bonuses which are paid to mgst men bring the pay up to about £3 a week. The sailors, therefore, are getting a share of the extra freight rates. In spite of the risk and adventure of the sailor's life in war time, there is no dearth of men available for the boats which sail from the port. The steamer Brazilian Saldanlia De Gamma, which sailed from Para, Brazil, on February 6, for New York, with a cargo of raw rubber, has been seized oft the Orkney Islands by a Britisli patrol boat The ship and its cargo have been placed in the prize court This is believed to. be a deliberate rase of attempting to run the blockade, the officials contending that a steamer from Para for. New York could never have got so far out of its course This is the first seizure made by the Admiralty of a complete cargo of rubber
