The largest wooden vessel in the world has taken the waters. The vessel is the six-masted schooner Wyoming, which was launched at Bath (Me.) on December 15. She also has the distinction of being the largest American sailing ship, either of wood or of steel, with a gross tonnage of 3730—0 r 22 tons greater than that of another six-sticker, (Tie William L, Douglas which holds tho title at present. The At yoming, altnough the largest wooden ship m the world, is not as large as tho ill-starred Thomas W 7. Lawson, 5218 tons and seven masts, which was lost on a rock off the Sicily Islands several years ago. Tho Wyoming, however, is 327 ft. long, with a beam of 50ft. . and a depth of hold of 30ft. She has three docks and five discharging hatches, and will sail as a collier. Mr. Whybourno, chief officer of the Corinna, is at present relieving Mr. Scott, chief of the Pukaki, who has gone ashore on account of illness. 1 Owing to tho difficulty in obtaining coal supplies in Australia ocean steamers of moderate size am calling at Westport for. bunker coal, and, subject to their draught and tho prevailing bar conditions being right, go up to tho wharves. One of the last was the Hornby Grunge, a steamer of about 250(1 tons, which came from Melbourne for bunkers. She wont on to Wellington, ami has now sailed for Rio Secco, in tho Argentine Republic, to load moat and grain for London.
