HULK’S LAST VOYAGE. What xvill probably be her last sea voyage Is to be undertaken by the hulk Merion, now at Fremantle, as she is to be towed to Adelaide. The Merion, which was formerly the County of Merioneth, one of the famous old clippers, was brought to Fremantle from Port Adelaide about seven years ago. She is being prepared for the sea journey, and will be fitted with acetylene lamps. No c rew will be taken on the hulk, and she will sail as a dumb vessel. The towing steamer will be the Adelaide Steam Ship Company’s Arkaba. THE A PAPA. —The Apapa, which has (Ken built by Messrs. Harland and Wolff, Belfast, to the order of Messrs.
