I Rocked *by >the tremulous sea like' a child •in ite cradle, the beautiful .barqttentine Titania lay outside the Heads when the sun went" down yesterday." At daybreak 'she came in' under canvas, and dropped ' anchor in the Kaiwarra Bight, near • the , mooring " ground of the hulks. The - Titania is a four-master* 'not" yet twenty old, and has graceful lines and curves. And' yet it is whispered '(but' not confirmed) that' she -may be stripped- of her graceful spars as the other ships which lie near her have been — the Lutterworth, the Dartftird, Hek-n Denny, only to mention ■ these (three, graces. .The day of .the sailer has passed, but noL.yet-tlte sailors, for the Tit&nia was beautifully hapdled' by, her owner and- master -for this trip, from Sydney the veteran, Captahi F. Holm, one of the few remaining Wellington stalwarts, navigators of the hard, bub sound, old school,- who one by j one- are passing out, even as the sailing vessels they commanded- are becoming fewer and fewer year by -year. 'Our report of yesterday afternoon's Supreme C6n«;t proceedings appears' on I page 2" of t this issue. ; We want you to ( look afc our fine eelectidn- of negligee' shirte. We charge ' nothing if you look, and >we ehall • nob ne«d to ask yo« to buy. Our ehirt fanga 'iß>fa«in»ting.» Geo.-'lWlde, Ltd I ., 'MaeI'wta.^eet.^Advt. • ' .
