It was expected' that the_ Kamona would leave Greymouth at midnight last night, with a \cargo of coal for Wellington. When the Blenheim was being brought 1 off. the Slip by'the Manaroa yesterday, the ; stiff northerly , gale that was blowing i proved too much for the little steamersi and the Manaroa had to let her tow ,g0.,. The Blenheim then dropped anchor, and f ; waited until the tug Terawhiti could come v. round to tow her. to the wharf. v Altogether 134 passengers are travelling- , by the Moeraki, which is' due here from .. Sydney on Wednesday, morning. • Of, these •; [56 are in the Baloon and 78 are travelling' steerage.. • • • v Captain W. Brooke,. formerly chief office* ; of. the Tyser liner Star of Australia. -has. : been appointed master of - the Star 01 - . Victoria. Captain Brooke is well known in.-; Sydney and Now Zealand, having traded. - to and from London for many years past : Captain Stevens, late of the Talune, iff > to arrive from Auckland by the Tarawera,.. this morning to take command of the., Mokoia. ? " Mr. W. Ewan is to join 'the-Mokoia aa.i purser for tho trip to Rarotonga and ~ I Papeete.' Mr.;Ewan was for a time reliev- • ! ing sub-manager for the Union Company • • ! at Rarotonga, but'contracted dengue fever ■: and returned ,to Auckland by the Talune ;. - ; to-recuperate. • Mr. N. F. mirser A ? *h? came ashore ' yesterday • and entered & • private hospital; suffering from ■ acute *, rheumatism. His placo was taken by Mr. ' A; G. Familton, l late assistant purser of the Hauroto. - ■ v . The barnuentine Pendle Hill/-' nOw-Tat Sydney, has been chartered to load a cargov> . •of .'hardwood for Wellington. . All the four large'vessels which^the".. British India Steam Navigation' Company some-, time ago made up its mind to build'* have now been ordered (says .an English':,; exchange). As we have already announced, • one is to be constructed by Messrs. Alex' arider Stephen and Sons, Limited, Lint-, v. house, and one by Messrs. William Denny;' and Bros., Dumbarton. The contractor - yfor the third vessel are Messrs. Workman, r Clark and Co., Limited, Belfast, and for for the fourth Messrs.- Barclay, Curie and * Co., Limited, Whiteinch. The Dumbarton * ship is to be propelled by means,.of re-'7 cipro-turbine .engines, So that if the .belief - persists in any quarter that the Otaki wai \ not a success, it is now little better thana prejudice. By and by, 20 doubt,-there* wifi be mar,y ocean-going vessels with re-.' cipro-turbine engines, and it mil be rc« membered that for the second time within a comparatively short period the Den'nys— 'conspicuously Mr. James Denny—pioneered rv new progress in marine .engineering The King Edward was the firßt all-turbin( mercantile steamer and the Otaki the first recipro-turbine mercantile steame*.
