VESSELS WHICH STARTED EUROPE SERVICE.
The news from Japan that the Nippon Yusen Kaisha has sold the Sado Maru and Awa Maru for scrap must laevitably conjure up many memories of the early' days of the company's European service, and, equally inevitably, compari- sons with its size nowadays, for they were two units of the dozen twin-screw liners with which the European service was started,
Of this dozen, ten were built in Britain and two in Japan. Awa Maru was one of these latter, and was indeed the second big, ship to be built in the island Empire, while the Sado Marú came from Workman Clark's yard at Belfast. Both were ships about 6,800 tone, with a speed of 13 knots, and for their day were very comfortable ships, in addition to being excel- 'lent cargo carriers.
When the Sado Maru was acting

long tons has passed through the Panama Canal in the 16 years of operation which ended on August 18, according to figures released here to-day by the Bureau of Statistics. During the 18 years 60,133 commercial vessels pass- ed through the Canal on which tolls amounting to $250,660,068 were levied.
The past decade accounted for 82 per cent. of the transits and 86 per cent, of the tolls and cargo. The present slump in the Canal traffic is interpreted as reflecting the general business depression.
