"JOSS SHIP” AUCTIONED.

DERWENT SOLD FOR $92,000.

The Derwent, a ship of British registry now lying in the harbour, was sold by muction at the sales room of Mossrs Lammert Brothers yesterday. There was an almost record attendance, but the bidding was far from brisk despite the np. pellation of "jous ́ship' given to the wossel by the auctioneer.

Mr. Lammert started the skip at $80,000. Slowly and at long intervals, which were spent by prospective bidders engaging ouch other in confabulations, bids of We Hold The Largest $1,000 and $2,000 were made. When the figure reached $91,000 it appeared as if the last bid had boon registored, when an announcement by the auctioneer that unless another thousand dollars word offered the upset price would not be renched and the sale would be quashed, induced the bidder ta' increase his offer to $92,000 The Derwant was knocked down at this prico to Tung Thi and Company.

Built by Thompson and Co. Sundertand, in 1879, the Dorwest is 2,410 ton register and 1,562 tons gross. She has accommoda tion for 12 first-class, 20 savond. third-ofnss
