(STBCUL TO "TBI TRSSS.") DUNEDIN, January 6. The continual Jons tr 'P? beinr; made by the turbino steamer Maori in tho Welling ton-Lyttelton ferry wirvioe, owing, it is stated, to the poor quality of bunkor cool now being eupplK-J, ha« had tbn effect of bringing tho oil-driven ship info much more prominence. It has been piiggtwlixl in many quarters that tho timo has -arrived wh«vi the steamers engaged in tho ferp' wry ice should be oonvort«d into oil-burning ships. The cost of carrying out ouch nlterationß would be hcivy, but this would compeu«at«l for by loss eorpense in the ujic of oil fuci. in the manning of tho ship, and by the ships maintaining a tehediil® time-table. In this connexion one ha* only to compare tho trips mr-de bv the mail ntarnncrw Niagara and Makura in tho Vancouver service. Tho former vessel, wing oil, can bo Telied upon to Teach tlio portn of call on timo, while tho MvJciirn, conl n« fuel. i> oft-ca late on both t/io inwwJ end outward voyages. It is understood that, in addition to the M.ittnganui and Mararaa. which ure having oil-burning furnaces fitted ct Port Chalmers, tho Makura is to bo converted into an oilburning vessel early this year. Although no statement has yet be*"n tnadc by the Union Company on tfc« embject, it is understood that the refitting made rccessaTy by such a chance will lx> carried <mt nt Port Chalmers, but, an tho Makurs. is scheduled to continue her present run until February, the alteration is not cxpoctci to bo made until about March. It is understood that- the Maungaiiui will replace tho Makirra on the Sydnoy-Aucklanu-VajiM'.iver run for tho two or three montlia while the latter vessel will be out of commisrion. The Niagara now takes in oil at Monolulu. and it is presumed that the Makura, when converted, will do likewise. It is also Htated that in tho near futut* tho Tahiti will be converted in|o an oilconsuming vessel. The work of reconditioning and converting the Maram<v sr.d Msungaaui has been <xm*»derably 'lelayod. owiiir to a shortage of suitable "labour, and i; will be some time yet before either vessel will bo ready for eca.
