NIAGARA’S LATE COMMANDER. CAPTAIN ROLLS RETIRES FROM UNION LINE. Captain J. T. Rolls, the well-known commander of fho Union Steam Ship Company’s R.M.S. Niagara, in the Canadian-A us tr al ia n mail kervicc, has retired after a long and successful career in the “red” funnel fleet. He has been succeeded by Captain A. C. Showman. Captain Rolls first wqnt to sea in July, 1876, when barely 15 years of age; ho was an apprentice on the ship Ellora, belonging to John Blyth, of Melbourne, traded to India and United Kingdom from Australia For four years, and then transferred to sailing vessels on the Australian coast as second and chief mate. He also sailed in the Liverpool sailing ships Hospodar and Loch Bredan ns second and chief officer respectively. H© made one trip to India as junior officer in the fir?t steamer owned by the Currie Line. On Ids return >to Australia he joined the ship Oceana as chief officer in the latter part of 18S4, and while on a voyage from Adelaide to Wellington, in March, 1885, was wrecked in Cook Strait, in a very heavy gale. The ehip struck a submerged, uncharted rock, and went to pieces inside of 15 minutes. The Oceana was a staunch wooden vessel, built by Lucas, •of Hobart. Fortunately, no lives were lost; the crew were able to launch a boat, which was picked up later by the little coast steamer Huia, just in the nick of time. At this stage, April, 1885, ho joined the Union Steam Ship Company's service, taking the position of junior officer on board the Wairarapa. He reached the position -of chief mate in the same ship in 1888, uid Remained in that capacity until 1890. He was transferred later, as chief officer of the Waihora, a sister-ship to the Tarawera, and remained in that position until 1894. He was then promoted to master of the little Moa, running in the East Coast bay trade. From the bay trade ho graduated to the West Coast running, with an occasional ran to the Fiji Islands. From the West Coast trade ha made another forward movement to the East Coast passenger trade. After some years on that run in the old Tarawera and Talune, he drifted into the Melbourne, Hobart, Now Zealand, and Sydney run, known as the intercolonial trade, running the following vessels over a period of several years;—Monowai, Waikaro, Mokoia, Maranoa, Maitai, Warrimoo, Manuka, Moeraki, and Moana. Ho was appointed to the Mar am a, in the Vancouver run, in 1912, and was given charge of the R.M.S. Niagara in July, 1914, remaining in that ship up to two wcehs ago. He had charge of no fewer than 35 ships during the term of 30 years in command under the flag of the Union Company. Captain Rolls has the unique distinction of being the first man that has been of the third generation of deep-sea ship masters, sailing in Australian waters. His father was a well-known ship master and shipowner in Victoria during the ’fifties and Sixties. His grandfather, a retired honorable East Inidia commander, afterwards came out to Australia in the ship Khoda, which carried the first, clip of wool to London from Victoria. This ohipment of wool was loaded in Melbourne into a small coastal vessel, the Thistle, and sent to Launceston, where it was put on board his grandfather’s ship, in the year 183 S or 1837.
