EX-GERMAN SHIP FOR B. C. 



The British Admiralty have agreed 

 to turn over to the British Columbia 

 Government, for one voyage from the 

 Coast to the United Kingdom, the 

 steamer '"Grahamland." now at the 

 Falkland Islands. The '"Graham- 

 land" has an interesting history, hav- 

 ing been, until the destruction of Ad- 

 miral von Spee's squadron, the Ger- 

 man collier '"Josephena," when she 

 surrendered to one of the British war- 

 ships. 



The ship was offered through the 

 Agent-General, to the British Colum- 

 bia Government for the transport of 

 a lumber cargo to the United King- 

 dom, not necessarily for admiralty 

 purposes, and this being so, all timber 

 shippers were notified and asked to 

 make offers for the vessel, the amount 

 of the charter being £6,600. The bid 

 of the Cameron Lumber Company, of 

 Victoria, was accepted, and the 

 "Grahamland" is expected to arrive 

 for August loading. Her capacity is 

 given as 550 standards equal to 1,100.- 

 000 feet, and the securing of such a 

 vessel at a time when tonnage is scarce 

 by a British Columbia firm even at 

 such a high figure is a matter for con- 

 gratulation. It is hoped that the 

 "Grahamland" will not be the last 

 of the captured or interned German 

 ships to be utilized in the lumber car- 

 rying trade from Canada.
