NEW F.-H.-S. LINER. Advice has been received by the Now Zealand and African Steamship Company <.*,.,;,.„ tint the new twin-screw steamer Empire Transport will leave Liverpool on July 2, und should arrive in Wellington towards the end of August. The Empire Transport is one of ten new steamers built for Houlder Bros, and Co., Ltd. Details of the steamers are not yet to hand, but it is stated that although they vary in size, they average 10,000 tons, aiW are passenger "teamers of the type oi the Kvertoii Grange, but of larger dimensions. Accommodation is to bo provided for a- limited number only of saloon passengers, but provision is to bo made for between 200 and 330 in tho steerage: It is anticipated that the immigration traffic will be especially.catered for. Thoss liners to bo devoted solely to the carriage of cargo embody all the latest improvements in order to ensure rapid discharge. The whole of them will, it is understood, he litted with refriseratjng machinery, so that the company may be able to oope with the ever-increasiiiß demand in Australia for space for perishable produce and frozen meat. Yesterday the Grey bar was still dangerous, and the Poherua, laden with coal lor Wellington, was unable to cross outwards. Tho Union Company advise that tho W'lnaka has been Hxed to load produce at Oamaru ou June 8, BlufE June 9, Tiinaru Juno 11, for Napier, Gisborne, and Auckland. While on the way from East Cape to Wellington, the Government steamer Tutanekai encountered a stilt southerly gale, and in consequence put into Napier on Tuesday night. She left again at midoay yesterday, mid is due hero this morning-. This evening she will saii for Lyttelton, with some patients on transfer from the Mental Asylum at Mount, View. On May 25 the new steamer Van Waerwyck sailed from Batavia on hor lirst voyage to Australian ports. In every respect this vessel is similar to the Van Linschotcn (recently mentioned in these columns), now making her maiden appearance in Australian waters; indeed, they axe sister-snips. Tho Van Wacrv/yck will arrive in Sydney about middle oi June. A message has come to hand intimating that the name Orient has been decided on for the new mail steamer now being built at Clydobank for the Orient Line's Australian sarvicc. Tlio new mail steamer will be of very similar appearance to the Otway, Orsova, Orvieto, Otranto, and Osterlcy which have already become fast favourites with passengers. It is announced, however that on this vessel will be introduced an innovation so far as the Australian shipping trade is concerned, from the fact that she will be fitted witn three propellers, the centre one being driven by a turbine- engine. There i-.re several vessels in the North Atlantic service so fitted but only one trading Xα tho Southern Hemisphere, namely, the Otaki, of the New Zealand Shipping Company, whicn has the triple propeller gear. Recent experiments have shown that three screws work splendidly and ensure greater safety in the event of an accident at sea. The Orient's sea speed will be between 18 and 19 knots and she- will be 13,000 tons register. . It is expected that the Waimate, of the New Zealand Shipping Company's fleet, will put in an appearance at Dunedm from London to-day. During the present week, the Wakatu is to go on the Patent Slip at Lyttolton for cleaning and overhaul. Strong south-west winds and high seas hampered the progress of the Moana from Monday evening onwards, and she did not arrive in the stream from Sydney until 10.20 a.m. yesterday. Mr Geo. T. Nicrol, who has just completed at Auckland a smart-looking scow A 25 tons register, has commenced buildine another scow for Captain J. Kasper. The new vessel will be 75 feet long. 21 feot 6 inches wide, and 4 Sect 2 inches deep. Her registered tonnage will bo 24 tons, and sho will be employed in the shingle trade. On Thursday next, June 9, the Shaw, Ravill and Albion Company's Corinthic is to leave Lyttelton for Wellington to complete- Homeward loading. She sails finally from this port for London on June 16.
