The Arapawa, which took shelter at Moturoa on Saturday, sailed for Opunake at 9 o'clock on Monday aigUt. A SLOW SAILER. The scow Arrah-na-Pogue is evidently out to make a name for herself for lengthy passages. Recently on a trip from Wellington io Hokianga tlu vessel occupied nearly as much time as any smart sailer would occupy in coming from San Francisco to Wellington, and now she is three weeks out from Hokianga to Auckland with a cargo of timber. At Auckland the scow is to dock for cleaning.

SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE. During the month of August only three vessels were launched, on tlie Clyde, their aggregate gross tonnage being 1.9,000, The largest vessel of the three was the twin-screw steamer Tyndareus, which «as launched for the Ocean Steamship Company, Liverpool. The others were a cargo steamer of 5000 tons for a Glasgow firm and a steamer of 24®0 tons for the General Steain Navigation Company. On the Forth only one vessel was launched during the month of August. She was the Countess of iMar, and was the first vessel built by the recently-established Forth Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Ltd. She is a vessel of 2200 tons gross, and is 2(85 feet in length.

HATATUA AGAIN REFLOATED. According to advice received in English mails, tlie Shaw, Savill and. Allbion Company's liner Matatua, which has been ashore at Peter's River, St. Mary's Bay, .Newfoundland, since tlie end of July, has been successfully refloated 1 . The Matatua has had a run of exceptionally bad fortune. She eaujht fire at Halifax, and was the scene of a terrific explosion, which resulted in tlie death of Captain Gillman, one of the best-known masters in the Shaw, Savill and Albion Companys' .service. IS'lie was then sunk toy the authorities to prevent the fire spreading, and after considerable difficulty was raised again. The vessel was then despatched for England to have her insulation renewed, but had hardly got away from the scene of her precious mishap before she was hard and fast on the rocks. It was generally thought locally that her position was hopeless, and the news just received is all the more welcome. She is, however, not quite out of the wood yet, as is indicated by a rate of 10 per cent, being paid against -constructive total loss.
