The Canadian five-masted auxiliary schooner Luurd Whalen, which had been in port at Auckland for oVer six months, tesumed her Voyage to Vancouver last wee];.' The principal cause ot her long stay ill port was a breakdown of her engines, while she'was cii route from Sydney to Vancouver, necessitating her putting into Auckland for repairs. .The vessel's voyage so fur 11ns been an unfortunate one from a" financial point of view. Since she left Vancouver hi April, 1018, she has been in constant trouble. On the voyage to Adelaide she put into Honolulu and. Sydney OWltif* to engine trouble, and did not reach Adelaide until the 25th August. She returned to Sydney and loaded a mixed cargo for Vancouver, leaving on the 2nd November. Fifteen days later one of her engines became useless anil on the 2nd December the second engine broke down.

While-waiting for the repairs to be effected her articles' expired, and the crew demanded to be paid off. This the captain refused to do, and the men Rued the captain for their wages and discharge. The. Supreme Court decided that the nlell Were entitled to be paid off, and made an order to that effect. Owing to the. men. not receiving their money after some considerable de lay, they put in a claim for .unpaid wages', and • the ship-was arrested. Later they were given their discharge and money and the vessel was released, .A, new crew was signed on and, repairs being effected to/ tier . engines, she eventually resumed her voyage.
