Ancient Mariner, was told to day by seven members of the crew of the schooner Eleanor Taylor, towed into port after drifting without a master for four days.

the Osaka Shosen Kaisha caused considerable interest by purchasing the Spanish liner fanta label, which bas been in port ever since, but which "has now been rennined Midzubu Murn, and which will shortly, be going on service.

This interest was increased by the report that the ship sold was, the Infanta Isabel de Burbon, one of the crack ships of the Compania Transatlantica fiect, a report which which proved to be incorrect. The ship which was sold, however, is an interesting vessel, and there is a good deal of question as to just how she will be used."
