REPLACING THE ORMUZ.— The new 20,000-tonner Orford is to replace the Orient steamer Ormuz in the Australian mail service. The Ormuz which was recently sold by the Orient Company, was formerly the German steamer Zeppelin. She was taken over by the British Government after the war as part of the indemnity due by Germany for war damages to British shipping. With the advent of the Orford —she is due to leave London on October 29 —the Orient Company will have four palatial 20,000-ton steamers in the mail and passenger service, the other ships being the Orama, Otranto and Oronsay.
