The Success hulk, whose history
in the old convict days is so well
known to all Australians, and
which for many months past has
been on show, first at Port Mel
bourne, and more recently at Sgd
ney, has at last found a resting
place beneath the waters of Sgd
ney harbor, having sprung a leak
which exceeded the pumping pow
ers of the man in charge, and
which finally deposited her on the
mud on the 18th of July. 1t was
the intention of the owner to navi-
gate her to America and up the
various waterways to Chicago,
where he hoped that she would be
looked upon as one of the chief of
the thousand and one items of in
terest to the throngs of visitors
from all parts of the world to the
