The next ship of the Glen Line to load here for London and other Euro-Associated Steamship Lines in re- pean ports, according to Macleod and Company, will be the "Glen- ogle," duc here on February 3.

DISTRESS SIGNAL,

STEAM SCHOONER'S FALSE ALARM.

Honolulu, Jan. 28. An extraordinary story was re- vealed here to-day when the steam schooner "Griffco," which caused great alarm a week ago by send- ing out frantic 8. O. S. signals for which there subsequently appeared to be no foundation, reached port from Townsend.

The new triple screw steamer "Laurentic" has recently been handed over to the White Star Line by the builders, Harland & Wolff, Ltd., and is to be put into commis- ston on the company's 'Canadian) service. She has been designed to carry 1,000 passengers, cabin, tour- ist cabin, and third class, and the amenities provided for all are un- excelled by any steamer afloatt.

While it is only to be expected that a liner of this character would provide luxurious accommodation for the cabin passengers, the standard of comfort of the third class accommodation also is extra- ordinarily high. Thús in addition! Captain Herbert Martin, in com- to the well furnished and airy mand of the craft, declared that un- State rooms for four and six til the Honolulu harbour pilot persons, there are a number of showed him newspaper clippings off two-berth rooms, fitted with hot port this morning he never knew and cold water, available for mar that his craft had sent out signals ried couples and friends desirous of distress.. of being berthed together. The third class public rooms have been specially designed to meet the ad- |vanced requirements of the tourists who patronise in increasing num- bers this democratic form of travel. Throughout the ship the passen- ger accommodation leaves little to be desired, and special attention has been paid to the ventilation, which is provided by a large number of nowerful "Sirocco" fans built by the well-known fan makers, David-

& Co., of Belfast. The me chanical equipment of the vessel from the propelling machinery to the hot plates in the service rooms is, of course, in every respect up to the high standard of quality and efficiency such as one would ex- pect to find on White Star Liners, and many modern improvements of a technical nature have been intro duced.
