After fighting for five hours against a strong southerly wind the scow Hazci Jlep■tbn cleared Wellington Heads; at 11 a.m. yesterday. Tl|e progress being made in the matter of ship propulsion was illustrated in tne case of-a Norwegian which recently visited a colonial port. Es? propelling'machinery was ol the Eiesel engine type,' and although she carried about <000 tons of''cargo hor "unloaded draught was only 16ft. aft and 13ft. forward. The bunker capacity was, nevertheless sufficient to enable her, if necessary, to proceed od a voyage to the colonies and back to Europe without replenishing her oil fuel supply en route. In outward appearance the smallness of her fennel as compared to size of hull, was practically the only difference casually _ observable. Her type is proving so serviceable, and economical-that, the Norwegians have at present' under construction a, 2D,aX>-ton passenger vessel to be similarly propelled by the Diesel class of engine.
