GLEN LINER LAUNCHED. Messrs. Harland and Wolf have launched from their Govan shipyard the new twin-screw vessel "Glenariffe," built by them to the order of the Glen Line. The new vessel is 420 feet long by 54 feet beam, the gross tonnage being 6.800. She will be employed in the Eastern trade, and is rigged as a two-masted schooner. GRADUATES FROM THE
