dispatched from Liverpool to Australian ports
Until 1868. when Mr. Ismay purchased the White
Star flag from the retiring owners. wooden ships
had chiefly been employed, but with characteristic
enterprise his firm signalized their arrival in the

trade between Liverpool and Australia has devel-
oped rapidly. and Ismay, Imrie g. Co. having sold
all their sailing ships, the last of which was the
large four-ma clipper California the last sailing
ship built by Harland & Wolf, have arranged with
that firm for the construction OF five large twin
screw steamers. aggregatng about sixty thousand
tons for the Australian trade. These steamers
will carry saloon second cabin passengers
but Will have exceptional accommodation for third
class including smoking, dining and reading rooms
The sleeping accommodation will also comprise
many two and three berth rooms. lighted by elec-
tricty
In addition to an unusually large capacity for
general cargo the ships will be fitted with extern
sive refrigerating chambers for the carriage Of

Thus 1t is hoped that the city and port OF Liver
pool will be largely benefited. and there is no rea-
why the port should not become a centre for
the distribution Of part of Australia's products
