A famous old liner, the Hawke’s Bay, which was once a regular caller at Wanganui, has evidently paid her last visit to the Commonwealth, for, as a result of the new tonnage introduced by her owners, she has been disposed of to a firm having no connection with Australia, and has been reuained the Chaschill, says the Snipping List.
