The old German-Australian liner Meissen, I now the Woslinde, arrived in Wellington yesterday at midday, and berthed at No. 1 south, j Queen's Wharf. She has come out from New ! York under the auspices of the A. and A. Lino, nnd her presence in port attracted some attention yesterday. Her former name is still I discernible on the bow. Two narrow funnels j placed dlosß together seem quite out of p r °- portion to the remainder of the steamer, which, I i consequently, has all odd appearance. The Woglinde will suit for the South to-night to complete discharge, and she will then bunker | at We&tport before proceeding to New Cale- 1 tlonia. The Meissen was well known ill Australian waters.

The Euripides, a large triple-screw steamer under construction by Harlancl and Wold. Ltd., for Messrs Geo. Thompson and Co.. Ltd.'s passeuger and cargo service between London and Australia, was successfully launched at Belfast last Thursday, 29th January. The Euripides is a very handsome vessel of similar type to the Themistocles and Demosthenes, already running in the i,anie service, but the new vessel is considerably larger, being 669 ft over all in length, 07ft 3in beam, with a gross tonnage of about 16,000, and a displacement of 23,000 ton«. She has been constructed under Lloyd's burvey for the 100 Al class, also In compliance with the requirements of the Admiralty Transport Department and the Board of Trade passenger survey. In construction the Euiipides will represent the highest attainments in naval architecture. The cellular double bottom extends the whole length of the ship, and she is subdivided into twelve watertight compartments, so arranged in conjunction with the general design that the vessel would still remain afloat with any two of the compartments simultaneously flooded. She will be a very large cargo-carrier, and is fitted with every modern device for the safe and speedy handliug of all kinds of goods. Her beven hatches will be served by no less than 19 winches, and powerful electric lights are provided so that working ut night can be carried on as efficiently as by day. The vessel will be insulated for the carriage of frozen cargo of all kinds upon the most approved principle. The refrigerating machinery is of Mess>is J. and E. Hall's latest type. 'Io ensure the satisfactory carriage of fruit, fans arc provided for circulating air over cooler coils, and three compartments have been specially adapted for the conveyance of chilled beef. Although catering for all kinds of cargo, the Euripides will be preeminently a passenger ship, and the arrangements made for the comfort ofHr.ivellprs leave nothing to be desired. The local agents of the line are Messrs, Dalgetj Company, Ltd., and they advise that the vessel will pail Homewards from Sydney on the 7th September next and again in February, 1910. Advice has been received that the Burgermelsterltachmaun, with case oil for the Vacuum Oil Company, left Albany, en route from New York, lust Friday, The vessel, which is due at Auckland at the end of next week, does not come to Wellington.
