Co.’s -Squall arrived from Tologa Ray and Auckland yesterday morning, and returned again to Auckland direct in the evening. She brought a large cargo for this port, including transhipments ex s.s. Whakarua, Haivke’s Ray, and Oswestry Grange. . The TJ.S.S.. Co.’s Haupin leaves Auckland to-day for Coast ports and Gisborne. The U.S.S. Co.’s llakanoa .arrives this morning from Napier with the balance of nor cargo of Newcastle coal. . , The U.S.S. ICo.’s M aikarei as due from South to-morrow morning, and sails later for Auckland. The U.S.S. Co.’s Mokoia arrives from Sydney and Auckland to-mor-row afternoon, and continues her voyage South in the evening. Tho U.S.S. Co.’s Wanaka is due here to-morrow morning en routo for Auckland, and after discharging her cargo for Gisborne will sail for the northern port. - The Moan a underwent a thorough overhaul while at Port Chalmers, and was repaired and painted throughout. It is stated that the work of repainting the vessel from stem to stern, both inside and outside, was one of the the biggest “jobs” of its kind ever carried out in Port Chalmers. Although several combinations of marine steam turbines and reciprorating engines-are in course of installilt ion in different shipbuilding districts, public interest (cays a London writer on July 31) appears for the moment to centre in the vessel for the New Zealand Shipping Company which is on the stocks at Dumbarton. This is a large vessel, intended for cargo business purely. On her outward voyage to New Zealand she will go via the Cape of Good Hope, and on the Homeward voyage by Capo Horn so that her distinction will be to be the first vessel with turbines to make a circuit of the world. Of course she is not a turbine in the sense that the Lusitania or the Carmania or the Virginian is. Her designed speed is no more than 13 knots, and the object of combining in her the reciprocating engine and the turbine is to secure economy in steam. There will be three propellers. Those on the wings will be driven by triple expansion engines, which will exhaust into a. low-pressure turbine on the centre shaft. There is where the economy of the Parsons engine comes in, for it can make effective use of steam at far below the pressure necessary to the piston engine. The biggest of the combinations in the kind which are projected is that on the Dominion liner on the stocks at- Messrs Harland and Wolff’s, Belfast, but tho most interesting is perhaps that on the yacht Emerald, which originally was driven by steam turbine engines. The Emerald was, by the way, the first turbine vessel to come across the Atlantic. BY TELEGRAPH. NEWCASTLE, Sept, 14. Arrived—Renfield, from Port Chalmers. Sailed—Brisbane, for Lyttelton. MELBOURNE.
