On lior :last visit to tho Dominion the ig boat had done what the Home: boats iseldoin •do—she had gone, into dry dock, had the nuts on her propcllor boss unscrewed, and had, in Vfactr shipped a new screw altogether,lock, . stock, and barrel. But the alteration threw her back nearly a fortnight on her time-table running, and thoso who watched her take in 3COO tons of Wcstport .coal may haj-e .guessed that something out : of, the ordinary was to be attempted. . That • something was ■ to' cut ' out ■ tho .Usual bunkoring on the South American coast and at Teneriffo. It wa3 a big thing to. attempt, but' it was achieved. From, .information: received on board the vessel, which arrived back hero to-day, it appears . that • Mr. 0.
