Tho Kigoma is tho second armistlco. ship to visit .Wellington (and Now Zealand), and like the other exGerman vessels 1b being managed by the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Co:; Ltd., for tho Imporial Government. •, The' vessel was handed over to the AlHcb on April 8, and on Juno 1 left Plymouth for Wellington and Colon on Juno 18 in continuation of her voyase. The vessel experienced a fair trip out,'and though she is in light trim she behaved very well. Her boilors are reported to have given trouble on tho Journey. Tho Kigoma is very elaborately furnished.. Tho vosßel was built in 1914 for tho Deutscho Ost-Afrika Line. She is a stool twiu-scraw, two-deck steamer, of 8100 tons,' and hor principal dimensions are as follow;— Length, 449.3 ft.; breadth, 55,3 ft„ and depth, 30ft. Captain H. 0.

The Chief Postmaster at Wellington received a telegram yesterday from tho postmaster at Collingwood stating that Farewell Spit reports that the iCowhai ■was refloated at 4 o'clock yesterday iiiornlng and left for Nelson, where she arrived at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The Union Company reported that tho vessel was making a considerable amount of water, and tha.t. she would be temporarily repaired at Nelson. The Kowhai went ashore on the Spitat Farewell on June 8 whilst bound from Onehunga to Westport. Several attempts have been made to refloat tho vcbscl, both with tho Tcrawhiti, and with her own power pulling on the mushroom anchors. Tho Terawhit-i returned from the spot on June 30 with a broken winch drum, and since then tho vessel has been üßing hfer own power, which eventually got her off. The vessel will come to Wellington from Nelson.'VESSEL DOMING TO WELLINGTON.By Telegraph.—Press Association. 1 Nelson, July 15. The steamer Kowhai, which wit? refloated at high water last night, reached Nelson under her own steam to-day; She shows littlo outward sign of her six weeks' buffeting- on Farewell Spit, where she was high and dry at low water. The salvago steamer Terawhlti made several unsuccessful efforts to refloat the Kowhai, but for the last fortnight the stranded vessel's own winches were rolied upon, two mushroom anchors • being put out about threequarters of a mile seawards. The'position vyas gradually improved, and on Monday night the vessel came off quito freely. Sho was still taking in' water and tho pumps-had to be kept-going on tho run to Nelson. Preliminary repairs will beoffected hero, and the vessel will then proceed to Wellington, probably to-morrow night. ( SMOOTHED SHIPS FOR SPEED. From the considerable amount of experience that has been obtained in England on the construction of steam and motor ships with electrically-welded joints there is every reason to bolieve that welding will become ono of tho standard processes in shipbuilding, says the "Shipping List." By the elimination of rivets and riyeting much,material and.a great deal of and tedioUs labour are saved. The weldeu ship, being lighter and, having a.smooth skin, can carry more cargo and mako higher speed than a vessel with riveted joints. The welded joint can be' made muoh superior to the riveted joint, iu compact-neBB and Btrength. -At present it would not bo wise to havo a welded vessel built, by other than a firm of tho highest' repute, but there is no douibb that a first-class shipbuilder, using -all the resources at his disposal, can' turn out a welded ship which offers more advantages, structural and otherwise, than are obvious from a first consideration of the problem. .MANUKA TO BE LAID UP. The Union Company reported yestcrdajthat all efforts to obtain a full crew for the Manuka had failed, and that the vessel's trip to has had to be abandoned. It is now intended to pay the remainder of tho crew off and tho vesßol will lay . up. KARAMEA LEAVES HOME.
