Information reached Sydney on April 25 to the efl'cct that the former Kosioos liner Sesostris. after boing ashore for ten years, ft- again afloat, and is to at once undergo repairs in order to bo placed in commlfisi-on. Tho Sesostris, it will bo recalled, was driven ashore during a scraro storm ou March. 5, 1907, at Ocos, Central America, and remained fast until bo recently. Many attempts to float tho vessel wore made shortly after she first went on tho sand beach, but she was finally abandoned and sold. Having been firmly embedded in the sand all these years, and always on an even keel, sho is reported to bo still in almost as good condition as the day uho was driven ashore. Needless to say sa.lvers will probably realise a handsome profit in tho faco of the present high prices to which tonnage has soared. AMOKURA AND HINEMOA. ! Mr. G.
