H. Scales and Co., Wellington agents. The Suruga should reach Wellington in aibout 24 days' time, and proceeds from that port to Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. This reference to the vessel's leaving Panama is interesting in so far as the Suruga is one of the first vessels bounds from New York to New Zealand to use the Canal since the re-opening after being blocked for so long. TJie Suruga is not unknown in Wellington, having visited that port last year, being one of the first of the Barber Line to come to New Zealand front New York. The Norwegian barque Carmanian. which , was sunk by the Germans on Tuesday, was a fine ship of modern type, and, although not a fast sailer, was a splendid carrier. She was launched from the yards of R. Williamson and Son, Workington, in May, 1897,_ for Messrs E. F. and W. Roberts, of Liveipool. She was originally rigged as a full rigged ship, and about 1905 she was converted into a barque. In 1910 the Carmanian was one of the foreigners' "snips." and was purchased at a very low price by Kornelius Olsen, of Stavanger, she being the only sailing vessel owned by the firm. She was a 6teel barque of 1867 tons gross, ■ of the following dimensions:—Length, 260 ft, beam, 38.7 ft, and depth 23.6 ft.
