There are certain services upon. which oil engine propulsion anques tionably shows a greater superiority over the steam drive than is general. ly the ease, and in consequence the majority of the ships that have been constructed for these trade within the past five years are oil-engined craft. It is only necessary to refer to the service between Europe and the West Coast of North America to cite an excellent example. The trade between Britain and New Zealand ports through the Panama Canal re- presents an almost equally good in-
stance.

SHIPPING BREVITIES
A submerged derelict is reported to have been
the sighted by "Seistan," a British vessel which ar rived here yesterday from Singapore. The position of the derelict when passed was Lat. 13.55 deg. North and Long. 110.00 deg. Four' feat of the mast was visible above the water. The as, "Seistan," whose agents here are the Foo Nam Navigation Co.. will mnload 7500 tons of general
cargo.
The Bs. "Awa Mara," a Japanese vessel from Kobe, arrived yesterday with several tons of general cargo, which included silk, cotton ware, por celain goods, and beer. She is tran- shipping 75 cases of safety 'matches for Colorabo.
Reported to have sustained damago to her propeller shaft, when 20 miles from Hong Kong, the as. "Gambara” was this morning towed into harbour by the Kowloon, Dock salvage_tag "Henry Keswick." Her agents here are Mackinnon, Mackenzine Co., and she has a cargo of safety matches.
The position has been caused by the fact that during the months of September, October, and November the water in the upper reaches of the Parana is exceedingly low, thus cAUS- ing large fully-laden vessels to get stranded on the bar, with no real danger to themselves, but (states a "Times" correspondent) very often causing severe, delay to the heavy river traffic by being delayed for some considerable tima.

The decree seems likely to cause very severe trouble to both shippers
of cargo and to shipowners alike, making, in the first case, as it does, a demand for more vessels. and at the same time, In the second case, putting a severa handicap on the large vessels if they have to accopt complation CDIgO at the ports n

So far as shipowners are concern- ed, the decree comes as a blow, es- pecially to the owner with large ves sels, and handy tonnage has of re- cent years become very scarce, The Argentine Government recently, of course, brought in certain stringent restrictions with regard to overload- ing, and these were welcomed by the shipping community at large not only as regards safety of life and property at sea, but also as regards fair and equal trading. The new decree does not touch these matters, as the ves gels have been loaded according to Board of Trade requirements for sea voyages.
