New Hard for Yachts.—The hard constructed by the Wellington Harbour Board near the yacht clubhouse at Evans Bay is now complete, and yachtsmen are already, with the approach of winter, making use of it to place their boats high and dry. Right: End of a Luxury Ship.—The French liner L’Arlantique being towed to the breaking-up yards on the Clyde. A ship of 42,512 tons, she was being towed to Le Havre for refit in 1923 after two years in the Franee-South America service, when a fire broke out, damaging her beyond repair. Protracted lawsuits in the French courts have ended in the judgment that she is a total loss, and the underwriters, mainly British, have sold the hull to the breakers.
