The Tasman, which was launched from Earle's yards, Hull, in October last, should have been delivered to the owners by the end of last year, but, according to latest advices received, blip will not be ready to sail from Holland until February, so that she may be expected in Australia by the end of April, or a month later than at first anticipated. The lloutmau, a sister ship of the Tasman, is being built at Amsterdam, and will, most probably, be expected in Australia by the end of July.
