MISSING VESSEL FOUND. The Collector of Customs (Mr. R. B. T). Eyre), who was requested by the Marine Department to make inquiries as to the missing vessel Arrah-na-Pogye, has received notice that she has turned up. SMALLEST SAILER FROM AMERICA. An American three-masted wooden schooner the Esther Buhne, is at present on her way from the Pacific Slope to New Zealand. This vessel is one of 2110 ton*, and is one of the smallest that has ever visited these shores from America. To see such a small vessel as this travelling such a distance is some indication of how r hort shipping space is in the world. Prior to the war to bring such a small cargo from America would not have been a profitable undertaking at all, but this also indicates how the freight charges have risen on account of the war.

NOTES. The remains of the Stormbird arc still clearly visible at low water at Wangaimi, but the hull lias been stripped of many articles by the inveterate curiohunter. Amongst the fittings which have been removed by amateur beach-combers are the binnacle and the slhip's bell. Tin's, engraved with the date ISO2, was removed by ?ome Maoris. The dinghy of the recently capsized scow Yespei has been found broken up war the entrance of Port Fitzroy. The missing men are Captain (r. S. Davis, of; Ponsonby, Auckland, married, one child; Leslie Crow, mate, single, relatives residing at Papanu ; , Christehurch'v and Charles Sinfth, engineer, Auckland, .mar-j ried, four children. The search for the men has been continued since the acci- j dent to the seow, but all hope that they might have got away has been abandoned since the finding of the dinghy. The Vesper was towed to Orakei from Whanga para para on Monday, and now lies on tin- beach there.
