The first details of the sinking of the fine 'liner Afric were brought to Auckland by Monday's Australian mail. In the Australian House of Eepresentativcs Sir. Jensen (Minister #or the Nsrvy) mado the following announcement about the loss of the transport:—"The Afric ■was torpedoed by an enemy submarine on the 12th February. The second engineer and i the seventh engineer -were killed. One boat 'containing 15 persons is missing. The canteen steward is safe. There were no Australian troops on board. Other cablegrams state that the Afric was on a'voyage outward from England when the disaster occurred, and that the latest reports state that five of the vessel's crew arc- believed to have been killed."

A FEEETOP MOTOK VESSELS

It is apparently the intention of the Glen Line to build up a fleet of motor vessels, says Shipping Illustrated. Their first motor ship, the Glengyle, wbicih replaced the old Glengyle, sunk by submarine, was put into commission early this year. She was originally built as the Bostonian for Oie Atlantic Transport Line, and was purchased by the owners of tho Glen Line, McGregor, Gow, and Co., Ltd., after having made one or two successful trips. Tho second motor vessel to be completed was the (ilenartney, which sailed on her maiden voyage in June last. She was approximately of the same type as the Glengyle, and both or them are capable of carrying about 10,000 or 11,000 tons deadweight, -with a speed of about 11 knots. Unfortunately, this new vessel, when on her first voyage, caught fire at Singapore, and was very badly burned, ■so that 6he will practically have to be rebuilt
