When inspecting _Torrens’_ wonderful times, two things in her favour must be remembered, firstly that she sailed from England at the most favourable time in the year, and secondly that, carrying passengers, she was always in perfect trim. On the other hand, everything was done to make the passengers comfortable, especially as many of them were invalids or consumptives going for the benefit of the voyage, thus she was never driven as she might have been. With the change of ownership as with the change of skippers, evil luck again struck the celebrated old ship, for the Italians soon ran her ashore and after getting her off again sent her to Genoa to be broken up. But when the Genoese shipbreakers saw the beauty of her model and construction, they went to the expense of repairing her, only to again bump her on the rocks. This time she was towed back to Genoa for good and all, and was broken up in 1910. +-----------+----------------+---------------+----------------+-----+ | Captain. | Date Left | Date Left | Date Arrived | Days| | | London. | Plymouth. | Adelaide. | Out.| +-----------+----------------+---------------+----------------+-----+ |H.
