' The barque Onyx has been practically dismantled and shorn of her glory at Sydney by having all her topmasts, spars, running gear, etc., stripped off, only her lower mists being left. As a" natural result she now cuts a sorry figure by comparison with bygone days, and is now almost readv to go on the retired list in the humble,,but eminently useful, capacity of a coal hulk; and will, it is understood. find a resting place at Lyttelton shortly.
