The s.s. Waikare sailed for Sydney last night with a large number of passengers and a considerable quantity of cargo.
A ship dating back to the time of Christopher Columbus, yet still sailing the seas, may well be considered a curiosity after a life of several centurie-s. The Anita, as the caraval is called, is, oddly enough, engaged in the carriage trade between Spain and the United States. She recently went to Baltimore with a cargo of Spanish wines and other articles of a non-perishable character, and has started on her return voyage to Spain. It goes without saying that, she has been freauently repaired during the course of her life, but the original style has always been preserved, and she still presents the high how and stern and the elaborate carvings of the old days.
