An adventurous voyage of CL'OO miles has been started by tho yawl yacht Recluta, 3(j toes, from Comport yachting centre (abutting oa Portsmouth harbour) to Buenos Aires. The little vessel carries a crew of four, nr.d i.-, commanded by Captain Harry Williams. All the members of the Rcluta's nviv are Hampshire men. Proceeding iirst to Plymouth she will go on to Madeira. Cape de Verde, Pernamlmco. a:irl Monte Video. The longest sea rim will be a distance of about 2000 miles —between Cape de Verclo, and Pernnmluuo. When the Moana enters the Vancouver service next month she will lie fitted with wireless telegraph installation. The house in which the instruments are to be placed has already been built on her boat deck. The Flora, which is now laid up at Port Chalmers, will, it is stated, shortly undergo alterations with tho object of turning her into a coastal cargocarrier, instead of continuing her as a combined cargo and passenger boat. As a consequence oi her detention at Melbourne, the Leongana, in attemptting to make up lost time as far possible, acconiplisiied a record trip irom Melbourne to Launccston and back, inclusive of a, stay of two and a halt hours in tho Tasmaiiian port before leaving again for -Melbourne. The turbine liner accomplished the round trip from wharf to wharf in thjrty-tlirco hours, her average speed across the fcjtraits being about nineteen and a half knots. As the Loongana was handicapped by prevailing tides both going and coming down the Tamar river, her performance is especially creditable.' Some particulars in regard to the White Star Company's new steamer Olympic are of interest, seeing that the vessel ha.s recently been launched at Belfast. The launching weight of the Olympic is estimated at Between 25,000 and 30,000 tons, and her displacement when completed will l )c (j'l,000 tons.
