SHARK SHIP'S YEAR
IN PORT.
THE "ISTAR."
MYSTERY OF HER NEXT VOYAGE.
Within a week or two, says the London Morning Post, East India Dock will miss among its changing shipping a graceful, reticent shape. that has lain so long at the west quay as to seem almost a perma ent as the sheds and warehouses.
The steam yacht star came to her moorings just over a year ago, and simultaneously the quayside popu lation began to speculate.
Her lines and appearance were enough to start tongues going. At Cowes, or in the sunny square of Modaco Harbour, she would have bern part of the scene. But in the oily waters of the East India Dock, with rusty trampa and cargo ships unloading round her, she looked like a race horse that had blundered into
vanhaulier's yard.
When two commissionaires were immediately engaged to keep all intruders off the liar, and only the Custom officials were allowed on board, dockside curiosity grew con. suming. Gossip thrived-there is no place like a port for rumours. But it seemed well established that there were thirty sharks' carcases in the ship.
,:,
21 By-Products From Shark. The clue was strange, but we. curate. After 1 few days the Alorning Post was able to announce that the star was nothing else than a floating factory for the manufac- ture of nie; fertilisers, oil, and the entire list of twenty-one by-pro- ducts that can be extracted from the shark when it is treated as scientifically and thoroughly na, the whale.
The work of the staff of chemiats on board was described, and "the statement-made, on their informa- | tion, that the yacht would sail to her hunting grounds within the tortnight. But menth after month the Ixtar has jain, almost serted, at her berth, until at last, the stevedores came to accept her as part of the landscape.
Captain's Statement.
Twelve months ago she was spick and span in her new grey paint, but a year of London atmosphere hae tarnished the gold scroll work at her bows, and put her Mermaid hgure-head in need of a new dress. By braving the "Strictly No Ad- mittance" sign at the foot of the gangway, it became possible to have
few words with Capt. F. Thomp son, in. command, and a permanent resident of the star auring her long stay in the Thames river.
"He admitted that the ship was leaving soon, but would indicate neither her distination nor whether the purpose of her cruise had been changed. It is for the owners, Marine Products, Ltd, to make all announcements. That was his final response.
Lut the employment of this 1,800- tan yacht, named after a Baby-

A year ago she was bound for Australian waters; now, beyond the rather obvious hint that she will sunke for tropical scus, Ther goal is mysterious,
Marine Products informed me that the fator'« continued inactivity was due to protracted negotiations between London and Australia, but by the end of last month whatever business preliminaries are necessary to the vessel's sailing should have bern completed. The company are confident that their new procves will mean a big commercial future for shark skin for boots,, shoes, and other articles usually made from feather.
