The '■>.'..-- vessel, it ; will; be : remembered, when ready for '■■.. sea. en September 19. was found to be leaking. : Subsequent examination showed that. the barque • ■ r -,f, badly- needed extensive repairs, which have since been effected. -■■ , - •.-'•.. j Id discussing the subject of shipbuilding for i ■■'""" the Australian trade Captain Leslie, who recently brought out the new steamer Mourilyan, of the, Howard Smith line, mentioned that it was recogv nised in Great Britain that nothing but the best : would be accepted for service in the Common- : >'i. wealth. v In calling for a high standard the Australian companies ' naturally bad to pay high <. prices, but in return they obtained ships of the . first quality.

It is worthy of • note that the German fivemasted square-rigged sailing ship Prcussen is go- ,. ing once more to the west coast of South America, where for a number.- of years she was regularly engaged in the 5 nitrate trade. ~* In her time she has taken home some immense cargoes of nitrate - to Germany. Some few months ago her owners • fixed her to load case oil at New York for Toko- : . hama—a passage which she completed in the good time of 112 days. Now comes the intimation -.- that the Preussen left the Japanese port last . month for the west coast of South America. Her stay at Yokohama extended to Just one month. Doubtless the Pieussen will load up with nitrate j ; ; for Germany upon her arrival on the west coast. , j ' ■-■'.. ::- • THE GOWANBURN. ' ] . The s.s.
