NOTES. English advices contain particulars of a rather interesting point in connection with the loss of a neutral steamer The underwriters concerned worked on the all-risk policy, and contend that slie was ' not lost by a marine peril, while the war risk underwriters maintained that the loss was occasioned by an ordinary marine mishap. It appears that the steamer was bound to a French port in the Mediterranean with contraband, when the crew heard a "heavy noise" and saw oil floating on the water. iThe steamer herself sank within 25 minutes. It is probable that the steamer collided with an enemy submarine which was waiting to sink her, so that had she not sunk the submarine she would have been torpedoed. Anyhow the war risk underwriters maintain that the steamer was sunk by collision in the ordinary course of her voyage, and not as a result of warlike action.

A good deal of excitement occurred at the Bluff the other day in connection with an attempt by the Japanese steamer Buya Maru to come up the harbour without culling for a pilot, The vessel encountered a strong ebb tide, and got into trouble near the spit. The tug went out to her assistance and tendered her to the outer anchorage, Where she remained all day, coining up to the port at '0 p.m. The Buya Maru was a captured German prize, having been secured by the, Japanese at Kiaochau. She is an old-fashioned passenger steamer, with bowsprit, and other signs o.f age.
