Instead of coming on to Lyttelton from Wellington after hei' arrival from Auckland a»d East Coast pOrts on August 11, the Union Company's Monowai will remain at Wellinglor.. Her subsequent' movements have not "keen made known. The White Star liner Majestf<f, which lias leen sold to sliipbreakers for £25,000, was built 24 years ago, and lias had a shorter life than the preceding Atlantic liners of iron construction. For instance, the Adriatic, 8888 tons gross, was sold to Bhipbreakers in 189S for £IO,OOO after running for 27 years; the Oceanic, 3808 ton*, was sold in 1806 for JE3400, after an existence of 26 years; and Britannic, 5004 tons, was sold in. 1903 for £11,500, after a life .of 29 years. Each of the above vessels was famous in her day. The »teel steamer Uinbria, the famous Ounard liner of 8128 ions gros*, was disposed Of in 1910 to shipbreakere for just mider £20,000, after running no less than 26 years. Nevertheless, it. wouM appear than Atlantic liners have a much longer life than vessels in other trades, as the P. and O,: Company generally •onsider that after running for about 15 years their vessels are no longer suitable for their service.
