Captain Charles McArthur, general : manager of the Maoriland Steamship j Company, has joined in partnership | /with the well-known ship chandlers, yM'essrs Hutcheson. Wilson, and Co., of Jervois Quav, Wellington. Captain McArthur will continue to manage the business of the jMaoriland Steamship Company, which will,, witihn a few kp weeks, transfer headquarters to the premises of Messrs Hutcheson, Wilson, , and Co. Throughout a season o f exceptionally stormy weather in the' West of Scot- ; land, valuable experience has been obtained of the utility of the gyroscope (' as a- means of steadying vessels in a heavy sea. In the early spring the p. : Messrs Macbrayne installed a gyroscope steamer Locliiel. The data col•iOm has proved that the apparatus ’K«r real value in controlling the motions of a vessel in a seaway, but it lias also shown that the application of the apparatus is not all so simple as it was at first believed to be. It has been asy cert ain od that its action varies greatly in accordance with the roll and pitch of the vessel. In the Loehiel, for instance, the gyroscope was a success up i:; to a point, but when the motion of the boat passed a certain limit thojstrain of ;• counteracting the rolling of the vessel reduced the speed of the apparatus, }: which then, of course, failed to exercise sufficient control, as the motor was not powerful enough to keep up a uniformly high speed. With a view to further experiment, the LochiePs apparatus is being transferred to a somewhat smaller vessel. —“Glasgow Herald.” MY TELEGRAPH. AUCKLAND, Dec. 28.
