The _Myrtle Holme_, under Captain Cobb, and the _Eden Holme_, under Captain Wyrill (late of _Berean_) had perhaps the best records, and maintained their fine average right into the twentieth century. For instance, in 1899 Captain Wyrill brought the _Eden Holme_ from Launceston to the London River in 88 days after experiencing 17 days of calms and variables to the north of the line. This was her fourth passage out of six, in which she had come home in less than 90 days from Tasmania. In 1895, the _Myrtle Holme_ went from Beachy Head to Adelaide in 77 days, and in 1901 went from Dover to Adelaide in 81 days; whilst in 1902 the _Eden Holme_ went from the Start to Launceston in 83 days. The _Eden Holme_, _Brier Holme_ and _Castle Holme_ were all transferred to the Tasmanian trade from that of Adelaide on the death of Mr. Walker and the dispersal of his fleet. The _Eden Holme_ was wrecked on Hebe Reef in 1907. The _Myrtle Holme_ was sold to Arendal, Norway, and renamed _Glimt_, a few years before the war. She was torpedoed in the North Sea in 1915.
