THE \VOB.LD'S LARGEST STEAMSHIP. Bv a strange trick of fate tho merchant •marine of the United States now includes the largest steamship in 'he world. .tho Vaterland, of the Hamburg-Ameriran Line, was interned with other vessels in Now iork • • at the beginning; of tho war, and vasamim"! - tho vessels seized bv tho United Stater, '. authorities. _The Va.terhnd is ft.i Oft long;, ' 100 ft wicTe. has a displacement of 6,1,000 tons, is equipped with quadruple screws and capable of maintaining a- speed of twenty-four ■■• knots. In her interior fittings, appointments and conveniences the steamship is a perfect marvel, end was ono of the favourite boats on tho New York-Hamburpj run. H»r engines and machinery have been disabled", and! it will take several months to have them placed, in miming order, after which she will probably bo placed in tho New York-Liverpool soivice. PERSONAL. .' A visitor to Wanganui just, now is Captain Robertson, one of the best known shipmasters in tho Dominion, and an old resident of ths town. Captain Robertson was for several years captain of the barquentino St Kilda., in'which he mnde> many fust trips across the Tasman Sea, and was also in tho Greti, which is nov/ a hulk in "Wellington. Though, he hes been a familinr figure on the coast for the la3t half century or so fsay.'J the "Wanganui Chronicle"), Captain 'Robertson, who has since been master of an overseas vessel, ia as sprightly es ever. In fact, he does not look a day elder thou when he last visited Wanganui seven years ago. Anxiety is felt regarding tho whereabouts of «• seaman (William Oliver) employed on the steamer Rosamond. Ite was last, seen on the Onehunga Wharf shortly before six o'clock on Tuesday evening of last week, and as ho did not appear on Wednesday rncrning, the steamer was carefully searched, without encce*a. Oliver is a married man, about fifty years of age. It is stated (says tho Auckland "Herald") that his wife resides in England. j SHIPPING- NOTES. Mr J. H'Lean, late chief engineer of the "Waitotara, arrived by tho M&raroa this morning on a holiday trip.
