.JOHN ENA AND DUNSYEE SOLD. Australian papers state that the report that the Standard Oil Company had sold the ships John Ena and Dunsyre to the Eobt. Dollar Company has been officially confirmed, though the price has not been dis- , closed. The John Ena is one of the finest sailing ships flying the Stars and Stripes. She is a steel four-masted barque of 2842 tons gross, and 2706 net. She was built by E. Duncan and Co., Ltd., at Port Glasgow in 1882, and measures 312 ft 9in long, 48ft lih beam, and has a depth of 25ft. The John. Ena is probably one of the fastest sailing. ships afloat, and has made some flue passages.' She also has the honour of being the first sailing ship to use the Panama Canal. At latest reports she was loadin'* barley at San Francisco'for England. The Dunsyre, which is as well known as the John Ena, is now due at Sydney any day ■ with' a cargo of case oil from San Francisco. Like the John Ena she is also a Britishbuilt ship, having been constructed of steel at Port Glasgow in 1891 by Messrs W. Hamilton and Co. Unlike the John Ena she is a -fnll-rigged ship, measuring 227 ft Sin in length,- bear’ 4.lft Sin, and depth of 34ft -tin, iher las- trip oat to the Antipodes the Dnasyre up a fine performance by coming from' ran' Francisco to Wellington in the fast time of thirty-eight days.
