THE CORINNA. The Corinna arrived from South this morning at II o’clock with about 750 tons or general cargo. She sails tonight for Picton and "Wellington. THE ENNERDALE. The Ennerdale leaves for Westport on Mpnday. THE PASSING OF THE SAILER. Due to the present shortage of steam tonnage and the consequent high freight rates in overseas traffic, practically every square-rigger that will float aqd many that have lain idle for years 4re (says the Marine Journal, New York) again in commission. Nearly all of these are of foreign- register, although some have been brought in under the American' flag since last August. How few of this type of vessel that were built in United States yards are now in existence may be readily seen from the fact that in 190 S there were but ten left in the Atlantis service. These were the Acme, Dirigo, Edward Sewall, Erskine M. Phelps, William P. Frye, Aryan, Glory of the Seas (unfit for service), W. F, Babcock, John Ena. Manga Reva, and the Jacob A, Standee (used as a hotel). Since then the Acme and the Erskine M. Phelps have been sold to the Union Oil Cpmpany of San Francisco, the John Ena is in Japan loading for San Francisco, the W. F. Babcock is running out of that port, and the William P. Frye was sunk by the Gormans. This leaves only four square-riggers in the Atlantic that were built in American yards—the Dirigo, the Edward Sewall, the Aryan (the last wooden sailing ship built in the United States), owned in Boston, and the Manga Reva, The oldest of these vessels is the Manga Reva, built in 1891, and the youngest the Edward Sewall, launched in 1899; but they are yet staunch, and serviceable. In the meantime contemporary Atlantic greyhounds have long since become obsolete, due to their machinery and equipment, so far as mechanical devices are concerned, having been superseded by newer inventions. But a sail vessel is never quite obsolete, and is serviceable as long as she is seaworthy.
