The Andrew WEIGH was built at Port

and abOut 20 miles from where the Ha-
waiian steel bark Foohng Suey was

ing been formerly in command of the |
bark Lady Lampson. Captain Marston, /
on the part OF the owners, went in per /
son TO Glasgow, and superintendent the !
of the vessel, which is very !
suitable for the Hawaiian trade, for !
which she was built. Her dimensions |
are Length, 1872 feet; breadth, So feet;
depth, 1872 feet. Net tonnage,
SOS IA tons. She is classed 100 Al at
Lloyd's. Her model is splendid one,
and the water line is indicative OF a good
sailer.
The cabin, which is large and comfort
polished teak and bird's-eye maple,
9mbellished with floral designs in gilt.
The dining table occupies the centre of
he saloon, and around it are revolving
chairs There are four stateroOms fur
lished with double berths and elegantly
tilted up The captains cabin is hand
;omely finished. The elegance of the
passenger accommodation will likely
make the Andrew WEIGH favorite yes
eel for that service. On the voyage from
