C. Dixon,’of the Canadian Seigneur, who commanded in sail for .14 years. “I have not seen llio old clipper recently, but 1 do not believe her timbers will stand cracking too much sail on in the attempt to break records .when she is respurred, Captain Downing has private means, and I believe will sail the Cutty Sark leisurely from port to port.. As regards fast, sailing; I' am thoroughly convinced nfter 25 years at sea that if a new windjammer with lino lines was constructed to-day, and a seaman put, in charge who had made a special study of meteorological conditions so that every wind could be taken advantage of in the light of recent scientific discoveries, all tho oldtime records'could be broken easily. But I am afraid the old Cutty Sark is past her prime for speed.” | THE NEW C. AND D. LINERS. I Apropos of tho statement by the 1 Commonwealth and Dominion Line I that the Port Wellington, which was I launched in .faauary at Bellas!, would i sail from Liverpool about March 8, • with cargo for Auckland. Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin, the following description in Die Syren of her .sistership, the Port Brisbane, is of interest: The Port Brisbane took the water during the lirsf week in December.
