MAGDALENE VINNEN
DEPARTURE FROM SYDNEY RECORD CARGO OF WOOL 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 toward the Heads under her own power. Motor-cars took hundreds of people to tbe Cliffs at South Head, so that they could catch a glimpse of her under full sail. Soon after clearing port, the barque sot her sails, and went off on a southeasterly course at a speed that made old sailing-ship 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 typo shipped from Sydney b£ a sailing vessel. The barque cleared for Falmouth, for orders.
