Company, at a recent meeting of the shareholders of the company, stated that a time was coming when not a single ton of English coal would be sent out to the far East. They were preparing for this contingency by building a large steamer, to be named the Mazagon, for which it was contemplated finding immediate employment in carrying coal between either China, Japan, or Calcutta and their various ports of call in the East. The Mazagon, which would carry over 7,000 tons of cargo, would cost something like £45,000, while the Caledonia, their newest mail steamer, would cost them nearly five times that sum, although she would only carry about 3,500 tons deadweight.
