THE GREAT
.EASTERN.—The directors have ap-
pointed Captain Vine Hall to the command of the great
ship. A more fitting successor to the late Capt. Harrison
could not well have been selected, and he is an officer who
possesses many of those qualities which gained for the late
commander the high position which he occupied in the naval
profession :apt. Hall has had a large amount of experience
in the command of ships of the first class in the Mediter-
ranean, South America, Australia, and India. His con-
duct in connection with the Crcesus, of 2,700 tons, which
upon arrival at t3ydney was found to be frightfully leaky,
many of the plates having started, gained him the approba-
tion and friendship of the late Mr. Brunel. There was no
dock into which he could put his ship, and with great per-
severance he succeeded in forming a basin, by driving two
rows of piles round the vessel, filling up the space between,
then pumping the water out, and by this means he was en-
abled to repair and bring home the ship with a most valu-
able cargo. When the Crcesus, with troops and siain.s for
the Crimea, was destroyed by fire off Genoa, his conduct
ghost approbation from the Admiralty. As
rceacpetiavined
(Tehth.ei
Golden Fleece, with troops for India, ho
made the quickest voyage on record between England and
Calcutta. In 1857 Captain Hall was elected a F.R.A.S.,
and was the first officer in the merchant servioe who took
a first-class certificate in steam examination under the Ater-
. cantile Marine Act.
