The Rotomahana's ship's cat nearly lost its life when the old steamer was Sunk outside the Sydney Heads. Being a cat, however, and blessed with the traditional nine lives, it was saved from an untimely end by the party sent to fire the explosive charges placed in the bottom of the ship's hold. The sad news comes from Norway that the Auldgirth; one of Russell and Company's famous barques, is to be broken _ up at Stavanfer (states "Syren and Shipping"). She. was launched in 1893 for Mr Thomas 0. Guthrie, of Glasgow, whose Village Line consisted in the middle nineties of 11 sailing Bhips, of which the largest was the Ecclefechan, built, in common with several other of Mr Guthrie's ships, by Robert s>uncan and Company, who also turned out some fine iron clippers for Patrick Honderson's Albion Line, which later became merged with Shaw, Savill, and Company. The Auldgirth was, like so manj other British sailers, eventually sold to Scandinavia, and up to recently she was employed in carrying coal and other materials from Norway to a whaling station at Cap Lopez, French Congo, returning in the fall of the year with whale oil and guano.
