Mouowai, Auckland, Septembor 5. PROJECTED DEPARTURES. - Wimmera, Auckland, Soptombor 4. Mouowai; South, September 5. , The U.S.S. Co.’s Flora left Picton for Napier, Gisborne, and North, at 5 a.m. yesterday. She is expected to arrive hero on Saturday morning, and leaves the same day for Coast bays and Auckland. The auxiliary schooner. Waiapu sailed again early yesterday morning for Auckland. The ketch Coronation sailed yesterday morning for Tairua. . / S The Huddart-Parker uC.’s Wimmera arrives from, south to-morrow morning and proceeds to Auckland and Sydney. • The auxiliary ketch Fairburn (Captain Fletcher) from Auckland to Gisborne, was sheltering at Slipper* Island during the gale at the end of last week. A good deal of curiosity is being displayed in Lyttelton as to a new vessel reported to* he under construction in Auckland for the Akaroa and Banks Peninsula trade. The new steamer is to be 77 feet Jong, 16 feet wide, and:7 • feet in depth, and is of kauri. She will steam about 10£ knots, possibly more, and is to have good passenger accommodation in addition to adequate cargohandling gear. The ownership of the new vessel is being kept secret, but it is understood that a new organisation, in which the farmers resident on the Peninsula, are the principals, has launched out into the venture. A rather remarkable steamer was launched recently at Sunderland. She probably caused the same mental , effect upon those who saw her as did the first turret-deck steamer, for her peculiarity is a hull greatly modified in 1 shape. The sides of the hull have each two longitudinal projections, or swellings, which it is claimed not only gives the vessel an increased carrying power, but by acting as ■ roller chocks, make her steadier, strengthen the hull, and actually, while increasing the displacement of a ship of given .dimensions, make her easier to drive, and decrease the coal consumption necessary' for a given speed. The two projections are between the waterlines when ( loaded and when in ballast. The Monitor Shipping Corporation holds the patent rights of the vessel, arid anticipates great things of the type. The first “monitor” ship is appropriately named “Monitoria.” BY TELEGRAPH. [Per Press Association.! CAPE MARIA, Sept. 2.
