THE MAGDALENE VINNEN
The departure for Europe of the German four-masted barque, Magdalene Vinnen, created much interest in Sydney recently. Launches followed her down the harbour when she weighed anchor and moved towards the Heads under her own power. Motor-cars tciok hundreds of people to the Cliffs at South Head, so that they could catch a, glimpse of her under, full sail. Soon after clearing port, the barque set her sails, and went off on a south-easterly course at a speed that made old sailingship men . watching clap their hands ■with delight. The pilot was Captain A. Brew, who, in his earlier days, was a master in sails. Mr. H. Sleigh, agent for the Magdalene Vinnen, claims that the 1600 bales of wool, comprising the cargo, is the largest of its type shipped from Sydney by a, sailing vessel. The- barque cleared for Falmonth, for orders.
