The Aorangi, as the vessel is to he called, is not the first of that name in the company. The old Aorangi. a ship with a schooner bow, originally belonged to the New Zealand Shipping Company. She was bought by the Union Company and plied in the Pacific mail service along with the Miowera. During tho war the Aorangi was taken over by the Government, and shortly afterwards was sacrificed for the good of the country. In other words, she was filled with concrete and sunk at the entrance to one of the East Const ports. Such, at least, is the unofficial story. TRANSPACIFIC CARGO SERVICE.

According to tho report, the Harriman group has acquired, on behalf of the North German Lloyd, six vessels of an intermediate passenger and cargo type designed for the South American trade, and ranging from 8,000 to 12,000 tons each. These vessels, it is expected, will bo used in cutting into South American trade, for which Germans have secured most of their prewar interests already. Other information from British shipping representatives in New York was that Herr Hugo Stinnett, through two syndicates, has acquired twelve cargo ships, ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 tons each, some of which have been very unsuccessfully run by the Shipping Board in the Baltic and Mediterranean.
