THE OITY OF faoNKIRK. . . The A. and A. -Co/a steamer City of Dunkirk arrived at Auckland from New York on Wednesday, aftor a smart passage of 24 days from Panama. She left New York on May 1 and experienced fine weather to Auckland. The City of Dunkirk is a steel screw steamer of 5861 tons gross, and was • built in 1912 by 'Barclay, Curio, and Co., Glasgow. Sho is a fairly fast 6teamer for a tramp, end can travel at 12 knots loaded with IO.OCO' tons. Her furnaces are suitable for either oil or CC^L .V can be changed to suit either while the vessel is at sea. She carries both kinds of fuel, and although sho came from New York burning oil, sho will probably cross the Taßman Sea usine- coal. During the war'the City of Dunkirk was utilised as a troopship between England ARu tho Continent until sho whs wrcckcd i on the coast of Spain while hugging the shore to avoid enemy submarines. Sho was three weeks on .tho-rockß before sho I was salvaged and taken to Gibraltar It was seven months before she was patched i ■up sufficiently ..to make the trip lo Eng; land. Her bow to the' bridge was bent up In such a manner that she had to bo filled inside with cement to make'her Boaworthy enough for tho trip. She . was laid up for eight months at Manchester undergoing extensive repairs. This is her first voyage since she was repaired. After discharging the 2000 t-ons of cargo' she haa for Auckland, she will -proceed on Wednesday to Wellington Lyttelton, and Dunedin. From tho lastrmentioned port she v/ill go on to gj'dncy.
