Gay (euporintondent of the Prince Alfred Sailors' Homo at Port ASe-la-ido) has for tho last two years fad under consideration the- dosiinlne of ah improved typo of ship Tvhloh, it is claimed is practically linsinkablo. Tho model las been inspected by a, numbor of shipmasters and ongineer exports who have seen' it tested in e, big tank, and it has been most favourably commented, upon. Itecently tho model, 6ft. in leneth, was examined by Mr. J. B. Lahatt, of the Harbours Hoard, Sydney, and Mr. 6. Quinn (reprcsontijiK tho United States Government). It was submersed in tho experiraenial tank imd raised (o give 6ft. of freeboard in tho epaco of two minutes. One of tho f<»etiiros of tho desiptn is the possihility of rcducini; tho visibility of the hull, and thus is suggested: a torpedorcslstini: erain-carrvini? vessel with. a. loiv flush whaleback hull. While tho constructional dotaile cannot bo stated, it is conccivabto that if a vorkine modol loaded with firebars and bricks and with tho holds full of water can still retain enoush bu<)yuncy to keop it afloat, as it did -when demonstrated, it augurs -well for a big advauco towards scouring »• comnjiratircly unsinkablo vessel. Captain Dryden lias again taken charge of the Arahura, and Caploin Jforrison, who lias been temporarily in charge, of tho vessel, is avcaitin!! iastructions at Auckland. Aflor bciiiK delayed for some tlmo at Lyttelton, tlio Calm left the touthnrn port last evpnins: for Wellington, filto leaves to-day lor Wnnganui. Owing to stress of wcathor, tho Wavcrle.v, which left Wellington on Saturday, pift into Picton on Sunday. No word of tho vessel's lca-vine Pictnn has liecn received, but she is expected in port on Wednesday from Pe-lca. Yesterday morning the Hincmoa. put ont on her trip rniuid the Cook fitrait light-" houses. Sho first visits Kahuranci Point, and will then attempt to land at the -various lighthouses. On arrival back hero the Hinomon, will go on the slip, and will .imderao overhaul prior to going on her periodicfll trip round tho northern lighthouses. Yesterday's rainy weather hampered loading and unloading operations on tho waterfront to a. considerable extent, and consequently thn movomenis in tho port for tho day were practically nil. With tho heavy wind blowing tho Hca. was also too rouftb. to allow of many of the smaller Tcsscls leaving port, and tho majority of trhoir departures wcro .postponed unlii today. Owinc to four flremrn Ucins missing (it tho advertised time, of donarturo of the Maori, tho Tessnl was nearly half a.n hour lato EOtting away for Lyttelton last, night. Supplementing tho brief messago from I)u»fidin announcing t.ho arrival nf tho Huanui, tho Dunedin "Star" eays: Captain Anderson reports that tho Huanui, after dlscharirinf: a. cargo of produce and goneral merchandise at Kainara. from Dunedin, cleared tho northern port, on April 28 for Whangapo. A. very heavy sea was running ou tho Whangapo bar. and tho little vessel was delayed outside for several days. Having loaded her cargo, she sailed from Whangano at noon on May 11, and on tho second day out encountered: b. strong southerly eaie. Tho Huonui was nnablo to mako any headway, and -wan hove-to for sovcn days under the peak of tho mainsail. A mountainous eea. was ninnine all tho time, but tho ressol rodo out tho Btorm in splendid style, and snetaincd no damage. The romalndcr of the voyage was marked by light. Taria-blo winds and calma to arrival. Tho trip occut'iod 134 days. Tho Altiandor is not now due until Thursday, instead of to-de-y. fiho leaves on Thursday, but will not oa.ll at Nekon ] on tho to tho -West Coaat.
