Hemmins, who recently retired from the New Zealand Shipping Company, has already found that inactivity on the land is not altogether suitable to his temperament, and he has set out once more to sail the seas. He has taken a passage by the Hurunui for New York, and he intends to revisit Canada, his native land; His restlessness is understandable, for in the S5 years he spent at sea he travelled over 3,000,000 miles. During fifteen years' service as officer and commander of the Miowera he travelled one million miles, and subsequently as commander of the Rimutalca 300,000 miles. His earlier voyages, as apprentice and junior officer, bring his total ocean wanderings to a figure well over 3,000,000 miles. In his early days he served as second lieutenant in the Canadian Government Fishery Protection Service. Gantain Hemming is a son. of the late Judge Hemming, K.C., who, in 1845, resigned his position as an officer of the East Indiaman Herefordshire in order to take tip the study of the law.

The laying of the keel of the third 33,000ton turbo-electric liner which is being built by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company for the Panama Pacific Line took place last month at Newport News on the same ways from which the second o£ the ships, the Virginia, was launched on August 18th, according to advices received by the agents of the International Mercantile Marine Company, which owns the line. The new vessel will be a sister ship of the California, which entered the coast-to-coast service of the Panama Pacific ' Line ' last January, and of the Virginia, which is scheduled to leave New York on her maiden trip on December Bth.
