COAL HULKS FOR UNION COMPANY. The barone Dartford, at present in Auckland discharging coal, is to be converted Into a coal hulk. Some years ago the vessel was used by the Union Cfl™ - nanv as a training ship. She was aiterwards turned into a coal hulk, and during the war she was fitted out as a baroue. and for two years, under the command of Cantain Watson, she traded between Newcastle and South American ports, taking coal and bringing back American cargo. There being an abundance, of tonnage available at the present time, and this class of vessel not paying n has been decided to again convert ner into a hulk. She is thirty-four years old, but is still in good' order. Captain Watson is at present m Lvttelton. and it is understood that he will take command of the barque Gladbrook, relieving Cantain Corby, who has been in command of the Gladbrook since Ebe was fitted un about two years ago at Port Chalmers. There are rumours that the Gladbrook, which will leave for Suva, from Lvttelton probably towards the end of the week, after docking for cleaning and painting, will be turned into a hulk at the Islands.
