It is a curious coincidence, but in looking through the list of their ships I cannot find two by the same builder, though I find the following all represented: Dudgeon, of London; Moore, of Sunderland; Denton & Gray, of Hartlepool; Scott, of Greenock; Hall, of Aberdeen; Stephen, of Glasgow; Royden, of Liverpool; Hood, of Aberdeen; Softley, of South Shields; and R. Thompson, Jun., of Sunderland. At the beginning of the twentieth century, just before going into steam, Trinder, Anderson & Co. bought the fine ships _Wasdale_ and _Hornby Castle_, but the century was not ten years old before steamers only were flying the blue with yellow cross and black swan, as the house-flag of the combined firm of Trinder, Anderson and Bethell, Gwyn. Occasional Visitors in Australian Waters. Though this part has run to greater length than I had at first intended, nevertheless I fear that many of my readers will complain because old favourites have not been mentioned. I have tried not to leave out any regular Colonial trader, and space only admits of the bare mention of many beautiful and fast ships which occasionally visited Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide in the course of their general round. Of these perhaps the finest were:—Carmichael’s _Golden Fleece_, one of the handsomest ships ever launched, with a run from London to Sydney of 72 days to her credit. Williamson & Milligan’s _Cedric the Saxon_, whose 72-day run from Liverpool to Calcutta is the iron ship record. This magnificent clipper once went from Calcutta to the Adelaide Semaphore in 28 days during the S.W. monsoon. D. Bruce’s Dundee clippers _Maulesden_ and _Duntrune_; the first famous for her wonderful passage of 69 days from Glasgow to Maryborough, Queensland, in 1882. The beautiful Belfast ship _Star of Italy_, one of Corry’s Irish “Stars,” which in 1884-5 went out to Sydney in 78 days and came home in 79. Beazley’s _British Merchant_, which in 1881 arrived in Melbourne, 78 days out. The _Sierra Blanca_, one of those yacht-like white “Sierras,” which in 1883-4 went out to Sydney in 77 days. Carmichael’s _Argus_ and _Argo_, the former with a 76-day run to Melbourne and the latter with a 78-day run to Sydney. Cuthbert’s _Ballochmyle_, Skinner’s _Brodick Castle_, Beazley’s _John o’ Gaunt_, Patton’s _Hesperides_, Alexander’s _Glengarry_, Bowring’s _Othello_ and _Desdemona_, and my old ship the _Commonwealth_.
