Japan. and China in the fifties: will be pleased to learn, says the Marine Journal,” that the Federal Shipping Board has changed the names of the German ships interned on the Pacific Coast, which have been taken over by the Government, to some of those well-known clipper ships of the past, thereby recalling a prosperous period in U.S. ship ping. For instance, the Steinbach has been re-named the Northern Light, after the U.S. clipper of that name, built and owned in Boston. The Kurt is re-named. the Dreadnought, aft.r the famous abip that the late Captain Samuis commanded, and was part owner of, and which vessel made the passage between Sandy |Hook and Queenstown in nine days and 17 hours, a record which has never been beaten by a sailing ship. The Daibreek is. now the Red Jacket, the Vinner has become the Gamecook, and the Ottawa is to be known as the Flying Cloud. In 1888 Captain R. B. Forbes, of Boston, wrote and published a book of his earliest recollections of nctable ships, which dates back to the war of 1812-15, when he was about eleven years old. "Its title is "Ships of the Fast." and from which I take a few excerpts that relate to the ships named above, and by which the interned Ger- man steam-rs referred to will be known hereafter. The Northern | Light is not mentioned by Captain Forbes, but 'be refers to the Red "Jacket as having made the rin fenn" Liverpool to Melbourne in 67 days. She made 400 nautical miles in one day and 350 for four consecutive days, and averaged 325 for seven days. This vessel also had a record of 13 days and 1h úr from Sindy Hook to Rock Light in 1854 under the command. of Captain Asa Eldridge, «hó was afterwards lost in the Collins, liner Pacific steamship, which vessel was never beard . from after leaving Liverpool for New York. The Gamecock was among the notable clippers built in Boston by Daniel C. Bacon. She made a voyage from Mei- bourne to Kew York in 75 days while in charge of Captain Shel- burne, and also made the run from Shankbai to New York in 87 days, and from San Francisco to Hongkong in 33 days. The Flying Cloude, in her day, was practically -“Mistress of the Seas," as far as fast pastures. went. In 1851 she made the run- from New York to Ban Franciaco in 89 days, and again in 1854 she covered this distance in 89 days hours, She was subse-
