The latest addition to the Austra lian fleet of the White Star Line, the t.s.s. Vedic, of 9,302 tons register, arrived at Albany on the outward voyage from England on the 9th inst. en route to Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane. She carries 700 passengers, every berth being occupied. . This steamer, built in 1918, and hitherto a popular trans-Atlantic liner, has recently undergone extensive internal alterations and improvements to fit her for the special requirements of the, Australian trade. She is equipped with insulated holds for the - carriage of frozen produce and fruit, in addition to general cargo, and her passenger accommodation has been remodelled to meet the demand of cheap yet comfortable travel. The Vedic is specially constructed for the carriage of third-class passengers, and in this respect she is distinct from other steamers in the White Star Line’s Australian service, which provide the more expensive cabin accommodation. But the White Star Lino have had wide experience in third-class traffic, and in the alterations and improvements that have recently been carried out on the Vedic special attention has been given to every feature that experience could suggest to contribute to the comfort of passengers. As only the one class of passengers is carried, the whole of the spacious promenade decks is available for their use and enjoyment. The sleeping accommodation consists of enclosed cabins alj well lighted and ventilated, having two, four and six berths according to requirements, and well equipped, •bathrooms nro available, provided with hot and cold water. Special attention has been given to tho public rooms, which, consist of a dining saloon situated amidships, lounges and smoking rooms, and no detail has been, overlooked that would likely to enhance the homelike atmosphere of the steamer’s appointments; Tho Vedic will sail from Sydney about the end of January for London via Melbourne, Adelaide and the ;Suezi Canal, calling probably ah Colombo en route. The passage rates are on the .usual third-class, scale, . ranging yfrom £3B to £44- according to; accommodation.
