Willochra left New Zealand on her last voyago she was under charter to tho Union Steam Ship Company. Now (writes our London correspondent) she has changed her owners and her name—the former being Mcesm Furness, Withy, and Co.-, and tho latter tho Port Victoria. She has recently sailed for America. As tho Willochra, her last records are specially interesting. Sho brought, to Europe some hundreds of Germsn citizens who had been interned in New Zealand *nd Australia, also tbe crew of tho Gorman raider Seeadlor. By tho irony of fato tho veseel got to Rotterdam on July 13th, tho day on which renoo was being very generally celebrated. The passengeirs were all chcorfol and happy, and apparently glad to be so well on th© way to their own country. Returning to England, tho Willochra was eont to Archangel, on August 16th, taking troops serosa in connexion with tho eradiation. Silo 1 remained there for more than a week, snd picked up Russian civilian refugees for the Baltic. Sb© called successively at Danzig, Libau, and RigSt and it was on her return to England that she wk.t bought by her present owners. ATLANTIC S.O.S. SIGNALS.
