A Rich Profit.

HAVING received a rich and unusual charter to load for Germany 4,500 tons of nickel ore at New Caledonia the Finnish four-masted barque “Pamir” (2,365 tons) has left Auckland for Noumea. It was expected that she would come to Australia to load grain after having discharged a cargo of guano from the Seychelles, in New Zealand.
The “windjammer” should show a profit on the round voyage of about £13,000 —a remarkable figure in these days, when most old-time sailing ships are considered obsolete and unprofitable to run.
