BIBBY LINER.

To Be Scrapped After Last Voyage.

THE SEANG BEE.

Although the Japanese interests which purchased the Rangoon steamer Scang Beo had her officially re-registered under the name of Seang Bee Maru, It is reported that she is destined for the scrappera, and that the famous old ship has made her last passage.

Famous alie is, for when Messrs. Harland and Wolf built her in 1891 she was the Bibby liner Shropshire, and with her sister, Cheshire, was regarded as the last word on the

Rangoon service. The Bibby Com pany gained great renown with these two ships, for they were the first twinscrew passenger ateamers on the Eastern run, and as their advent coincided with an epidemic of broken shafts, the enterprise of the company obtained good adver

vice that she WAS sold to the China and Southern Trading Co. of Rangoon, who kept her for two years, and then sold her in 1926 to other Rangoon interests. After this second transfer, while on a voyage from Singapore to Hong Kong in January, 1927, she as acized by Chinese pirata, nearly 100 of whom had taken tickets an passengers, and her people were compelled, at the muzzle of the revolver, to navigate her to Bias Bay, There ahe was thoroughly looted, the pirates going through the 700 odd passengers and securing over £3.000 in money and Jewellery, in addition to what they got from the ship, their total loot, running Into five figures. Five wealthy Chinese passengers were taken in- land for ransom, but Captain Cot ton, after being taken ashore as, a hostage, was allowed to return to the ship.

The outrage occurred at a timo when commercial interests ware furious at the indifference of the Chinese authorities to

piracy, and she was by far the biggest ship that had ever been attacked. Soon after- wards she was again transferred to other Chinese interests in Rangoon,
