TITE E. D. STIELrSCr. Tlie bertUiiig of tie eix-iiiaotod liarquniitino E. It. Stirlinc at Auckland aroused more than heuli! jntcrest, for tliu viisscl 18 probably oue at' tlie larsest of lior class alloat. Lauaclisd Irom tao atocts or Jlessi's. Harland aud Wollt, ileltiiit, in i!S3, shu has had a, Ion;; carter, ducmg vvkick Uer appellatiou has been dumped on three occasions. She vau baptised the Lord t\ oeoley, later changed to Everett Grigus, while she now bears tlie name of i.ei' owner, E. it. Stirling, 'l'be latter purchased her some nine years aco, and she has sinco been umployed in regular service between Sau Francisco, Australia, and South America with neiiera) cargo anil lumber.

The barquentine is ever Jttlft. long, and Juts a lumber capacity of two aud a halt million feet and a dead-weight capacity of 43011 tons. Oaptain li. M. Siirliiuf, the son of the owner, iB iu charge, and has his craft fitted out with every convenience. There is a luxurious naloon, wlule tlie vessel's own wireless installation keeps her iu touch with the outside world when at sea. Bntely stowed away fol 1 use iu ports is the owner's motor-car.

Stirling rather disproves tho prevailing opinion of. tho day that vessels of this class are obsolete, lor it 13 understood that en her present trip she lias cleared about ££800 iu freight for lict owner, at the rato o£ about ±"2 per toil. With oil sails Bet it is estimated that t.he large ship carries aboul WiXi square foot of canvas, which, judging from the photographs showing her thus rigged, makes a, most unique sight.
