Mr Ismay, son of the well-known shipowner, who came to New Zealand for tho benefit of his health, loft by the Gothic yesterday quite restored. He has furnished some particulars ot a great steamer that is being built for Ismay, Imrio and Co. by norland and Wolff, of Belfast, about which various in- • correct versions have been circulated. The new 1 Whit® Star liner will be known as the Oceanic, tho j steamer of that name, which was the pioneer vessel . of the Company, being now withdrawn after 25 years’ service. The Great Eastern was 67.1 ft in * length; the Oceanic will be oD4ft, which is 65ft longer than any other vessel in existence.and her tonnag.j will exceed 17,000 tons. The interns] arrangement.* ’ will practically be the same as tho*" of ho Teutonic j and Majestic. Although much higher speed is , practicable the new steamer is not intended to bo 1 exceptional- in that respect and will regularly arrive on Wednesday mornings at New York and J Liverpool. The vessel will be bunched in January, ) and will fulfil the Admiralty requirements, being \ able to take a large body of troops and steam 23,40«) knots at 12 knots per hour, without reooaling. Harland and Wolff, who have already turned ou t 155,195 tong of‘shipping for the White Star Line,

have in hand altogether for the Company no fewer than 1Q3.855 tons. The capital expended, which Belfast has thus enjoyed, represents over £5,000,000. Further particulars (as supplied by Mr Ismay) concerning this Company and its new steamer will be published in the Nkw Zkaland Times when space permits. DEPARTURE OP THE GOTHIC. A VALUABLE CARGO LIST. The scene presented on tbc departure of any of our large passenger steamers for the Old Country is usually a most affecting one, for there are always numbers of people who, unable to control their feelings, are seen to bid most pathetic farewells to relatives or friends who are leaving them—perhaps for ever. Such sights, though common, serve nevertheless to send away in a gloomy frame of mind even the most impassive of casual observers. The departure of the Gothic yesterday afternoon, however, was happily marked by the absence of those touching scenes, for although there were a few tearful eyes to be seen, the majority of the passengers and their friends seemed to regard the coming journey more as a mere pleasure trip. Buch, no doubt, to the majority, it really fs, for many of those on board are bound for the Old Country chiefly for the purpose of witnessing the record reign celebrations. Punctually at 2 o’clock tbc largo vessel commenced to move away from the wharf, and then for some minutes nothing but “Good-bye,” “ Write by the first mail, “Remember me to all at Home,” and similar remarks could be heard. Handled with the customary skill Of Captain H. Johnson, chief pilot, the magnificent Wnite Star liner slowly backed out from the berth, her decks—like the wharf—presenting a Most animated scene. Gradually the vessel’s bow was brought around, and then, everything being clear, the stately ship, whoso graceful lines were much admired, went ahead, and started on her Homeward voyage. Handkerchiefs, hats and sticks were seen waving In every direction, and a more enthusiastic send-off has never been accorded one of our direct liners. Captain Kidley. the Gothic’s genial commander, is still confined to his cabin, as the result of his recent accident at the Rakala Railway station, and the chief officer, Mr Breen, will retain command until Captain Kidley is able to once more resume bis duties. The unusually large number of passengers going Home has entailed very heavy work upon Captain Babot (Marine Superintendent for the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company) and the local agents, and Mr Symons (shipping manager for Messrs W. and G. Turnbull and Co.) must be congratulated upon the admirable manner in which bo has attended to ids numerous duties.
