and on which she has run practi-Manila cally ever since, with only oc Bangkok casional diversions to Bombay.

She was a particularly success ful ship, popular with her passen- gers on account of her solid com- fort, and as good a cargo 'carrier as the state of trade would permit, until early in March last when she arrived at Falmouth, where she has been laid up ever since. She has had a short life, it is true, but that has been due to the improve- ments which the company hus effected and not to any faults of
