The Company is fortunate in the pos- session of two first-class vessels with which to carry on the Hongkong-Yoko hama service the Takasago Maru (Captain Young) and the Niigata Muru, before men- tioned as commanded by Captain Walker. Both these gentlemen are well known and popular in China as well as in Japan, by shippers and passengers alike; and in seek- ing to secure that stereotyped "share of public patronage," the Company is woll furnished and most favourably situated. The Niigata Maru (formerly the Bohar) was seen and admired on her last trip here by a large party of those interested; and the Takasago Maru (late Della) is now in harbour for the first time since she renewed her youth, and leaves to-morrow morning on the usual up- ward passage. The latter essel, like her com panien steamer (the Niigata) was renovated, og rather made into a better ship, on the Clyde, and arrived in Japan about eight months ago. She is now unquestionably one of the finest and most comfortable vessels on the Japan route, having, in addition to the ad- vantage of the P. & O. roominess of olden days, all the modern improvements in fittings and appliances which the ingenuity and skill of the Clyde shipbuilders can supply. The slight damage caused by the collision lately reported having been made good, the Takae-
is now certainly a credit to her class (80 years), and is highly spoken of by the pas sengers who have travelled by her. We do not pretend to describe her various improved appliances, such as steam eteering gear, en gine for hauling up her anchor, and her ad- mirable arrangements against fire; but there is one thing which deserves a passing romark, viz., a boiler and steam-pump on the upper deck for use in case of accident to the ship.
