AWATEA ALTERED.
Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Aug. 3. With her funnels 6ft Bin longer and two turbine gears replaced, the Tasman liner Awatea berthed about midday from Sydney, having been in Cockatoo Island dock, Sydney, since the end of May. On the way across she met northerly winds and beam seas. Captain Davey said that, with her former funnels, on such a trip the Awatea would have experienced smoke and smuts in the after part of the vessel. However, the lengthening of the funnels had completely eradicated the smoke nuisance. On her trial runs in Australia she averaged 23 knots, but it would take some time for the replaced turbines to be “run in.” The vessel was excellent at sea.
