VENERABLE SHIPS.
BERTHED TOGETHER. SURVEY VESSEL AND HULK. One trim white and buff, the other inky black, two vessels lay side by side at the \ Western viaduct tbis morning—H.M.S. Endeavour, the Admiralty survey ship replenishing her bunkers with about 200 tons of coal in preparation for the coastal survey work to begin on Monday, the other, the old coal hulk .lubihv. A contrast in appearance, but the ships have something in common. The Endeavour is the oldest sea-going ship in the British Navy while the Jubilee, which is more than three times as old as the Endeavour, is the most ancient of vessels in Xew Zealand waters, although she is no longer sea-going. The Endeavour came to the city sid?> of the harbour yesterday from the Calliope wharf and returned there again this afternoon. Over the week-end shi will be prepared for her journey up the Hauraki Gulf on Monday. It is expected that she will be a-way for about three • weeks.
