Sydney, N. S. W., Jan. 21. Nearly all the remaining square- rigged ships in the world are hend- ed "down under" to Australia to participate in the famous, annual "grain race."
Thirteen large satling ships, "windjammera," "have cleared Eu- ropean ports for the wheat-loading centres of South Australia. But not one of them is flying the Union Jack or the Stare and Siripes. The honour for the fastest passage to Falmouth will be won either by a -Finnish or Swediah-ship-this-your.—
All but two of the 13 ships belong to Capt. Gustav Erikson of Marie- hamn in the Aaland Islands, and they By the Finnish flag. They are the four masters Passat, Pommern, Par- Viking, ma, Olivebank, Lawhill, Mosholu and Archibald Russell, and the three-masters Killaran, Penung and Winterhude.
-DAY TRIP WON IN 1937 The Passat and Pommern both made passages of 94 days last year, though the Pommern claimed vic- tory by a few hours.
The other two square-riggers for Australin Bre both bound training ships, the Swedish Abra- ham Rydberg and the German Admiral Karpfanger. The latter took part in last year's race 13 L'Avenir, but has since been sold by Capt. Erikson to the Hamburg- American Line and retted os ♫ training ship.
One veteran of many grain races will not be there this year, or ever again. She was the C. B, l'edersen, which was sunk in a collision off the Azores on her homeward voyage last year,
For the first time for many years most of the ships have obtained cargoes for the outward voyage to Australia this year.
SAILING DATES VARY The "windjammers will load grain over several weeks time, Sailings usually take place between February and April, the Southern hemisphere's summer. The ships actually do not race each other as sailing dates vary. too greatly for that. The winner la determined by the clapsed time be- tween Australia and the English Channel. The vessels usually put in at Falmouth for orders. The win- ner's lime depends greatly on the weather.
The Australia wheat trade prof- its from these "windjammer" races, because the cost of transporting grain to Europe is comparatively low As the ships have no fuel expense. The shipping cost per ton usually in under £ and the vessels can carry from 4,090 to 0,000 tons of wheat.
