THE WRECK OF THE MONGOLIA.

No song this of Grecian keel
Abeach Meledos where
needless mariner may feeI
Black Scy1as
Here shall We find but numbers hooked
From .fotsam tides Of terms prouse
How vagarous vessel cooked
good mans goose.
She crused among the coral isles
IN sported by the surfy strands;
Her skipper wreathed his face in smiles
And rubbed his hands.
Till in the Sabbath evening air
And with double Sunday luck
She bumped coral reef, and there
The d thing stuck.
Not PRAYERS signs oaths IN
Not cargo heaved, engines strain
Awaited to move her till she chose
To again.
When sliding through the foam behind
She hoated clear of every Ill,
And she hasn't changed her mind
She's floating still.
No moral marks this simple end,
Yet those who fear such awkward plights
Nav be more careful where they spend
Their Sunday nights.

We recently reported that the Togo
Kisen Kaisha had ordered the con-
struction of a vessel of over 10000 tons
for its American service. 1t is now
stated that in view of the constant in
crease of trade between Japan and
America the Kaisha has decided to also
order three vessels of 5000 tons each.
AS the Mitsubishi dockyard at Maya
saki was unable to accept the COM
mission having already as many or
ders for vessels as it can execute, the
Kawasaki dockyard has been asked to
undertake the work. 1t is believed
that the contemplated immediate ex-
tension of the dockyard will enable the
Kawasaki company to accept the order,
although it also has a great number o.
vessels now in hand.-Kobe Herald.
ALAMEDA SAILS TOMORROW.
