he later identified as Hubbard. say any

COptic Leaves for Last Time.

For more than thirty years the flag
Of the Occidental and Oriental Steam
ship Company has been carried on the
Pacific by liners chartered from the
White Star Line of Liverpool, England.
At one time there were four of these
vessels in this service-the Gaelic. Bel
gic, Coptic and Doric.
When the japanese line came into
this trade the Belgic was surrendered
by the charterers and sent home. The
advent Of the Siberia and Korea ended
the Gaelic's usefulness here and she
was sent after the Belgic. The Coptic
sailed from here yesterday and at
Hongkong will haul down the o. and Q.
heg, and If she is not sold IN the Tar
East viii return 10 England. This
leaves only the Doric now on her way
here TO represent the White Star Line
in the Pacific. 1t is understood that
the Pacific Mail Company will purchase
the Doric when her present charter eX-
Pires, and in that case the 0. and 0.
fag viii disappear altogether from the
Pacific.
The Coptic carried only % packa ges
Of freight-electrical goods valued at
S3423 for Manila. She carried seven
passengers. Captain Finch. now in
command Of the Coptic will, it is
understood. be transferred to the Doric,
whose master viii return 10 England.
