Another Ship For Messageries Maritimes

ANEW ship, to be called Aus tralien, is to be added to the Messageries Maritimes service from France via Panama, Tahiti and Noumea to Sydney.

The new ship will be similar to the modern vessels Tahitien and Caledonien, which entered this ser vice a few years ago.— Noumea Correspondent. (The Sydney office of MM would not confirm the above report. They said that a ship was building in France for the line but they did not know what it would be called,

when she would be ready for service, or what she would be like. They expected more information in a month).
