Absolutely the last record of the Taramung, standing in the office of her owners, Messrs James Paterson and Co.* is the following entry:—"Tamarung passed by the steamer Federal oS Cape Si George on the 31st May, 1891. Supposed to have been lost on the night of Sunday, the Ist June, or on the following day. Nothing since seen or heard of her." A rathsT" Unpleasant; incident aarked the preparation of the Ophir. The engineroom complement was to have been provided by the Orient Company, but as mat- - Iters turned out the Ophir is run in this department by a Boyal Navy crew, at least as far as the subordinate ratings are concerned. According to the Admiralty regulations, every s«aman serving on a British man-of-war is compelled to be vaccinated, but to this safeguard most of the Orient Company's firemen strongly objected on conscientious grounds, and they lefused to submit to the operation. Accordingly, most of'them were sent ashore, and strong drafts of selected naval stokers ■were selected "for duty aboard the Ophir. The discharged men were paid the -wages due, a bounty of £5 each, and given a railway ticket for the place to which they belong. __
