THE AWATEA.
AGAIN IN COMMISSION. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, August 3. With her funnels 6ft Bin longer and her two turbine gears replaced, the Tasman liner Awatea berthed about mid-day 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 A. H. Davey said that with her former funnels on such a trip the Awatea would have had . smoke and smuts nuisance 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, hut it would take some time for the replaced turbines to “run in.”
