The first a tempt on the part of the North Gorman Ling, soms eight years ago, to satablish through service betwson Singapore and Sydney na the New Guinoa ports failed owing to the slowness of the hoofs and the undeveloped condi tion of the German possessions in the South Seas. The services were consequently abandoned, and from 1931 outwards the ampany devoted its lief efforts to the improvement of the monthly services from Bydney and Brisbane to I-rble- he, the chief New Guines port, Rongkong and Yokohama. At Simpson's Harbour, in Blanche Bay, a large wharf has been constructed by the company at a cost of £32,500and larger stimers hare been provided for the coasting trade in the Gorman archipelago.

I was below is the & ita when suddenly I heard a crash. Not knowing what had happaret, I made a rush for the water-tight door of my compartment, which was one of the few open under res routine, closed it, and burried on deck. There I saw a bug samer, which proved to be the St. Paul, wedged right into our vesiel amidships. The Gladiater started reeling to starboard, where she had been bit, and after the two ships had been locked together about a minste and half, the St. Paul wont actern. The order was given on our ship to close water- tight doors and go full speed autort, but when We were far of the linor-the-Gladiator began to fill and list harily to port.

It took the St. Paul about ten minutes to face after she backed out of, and then her bonts were lowered, and picked up soms of our men who were swimming about in the sea. There was no explosion of the ballers, but a good many of the mon below were badly injured or killed by the ripping open of the plates and ironwork as the B1. Paul orashed her way into ns. As an instance of the good order which prevailed aboard; I may mention that about 100 men were! lined up on the port side of the ship after the collinios to await the lowering of the boats.

The preamble to the Bill in which the addition il subsidy is proposel gives a detailed account of the natural resources of the is land, in which valuable deposit of phosphates have been discovered. In proof of the grow ing prosperity of German New Guinea and the to be raised adjacent island groups, it is intimated that the existing Cust ma duties are and that a general 10 per cent. ad valorem daty will shortly be introduced in New the Caroline Island?. The total increase of Guines, the Bismarck Archipelago, and revanes from the Castors is estimated at nearly 125 900. The trade of the islands with Australia in 1903 amsuated to over £73,999, and, although the Chiness and Japanese trade was valasu at on about one third of that amouet, it felt that the resumption of direct stent ip manicati p, with Singapore will open up another ma-ket for the prodngn of the islands.
