Ltd. She ia 309.6 ft. long, 46.1 ft. beam, and 25.2 ft. depth. The fittings of the noop are of a type seldom seen in windjammers. The saloon is panelled with veneered wood, with magnificent graining. Tho master’s ouartore are also elaborately fitted. The bathroom contains a norcelain enamelled bath and wash basin. A spacious wardrobe is also provided. Modern science has intruded, however, among the standard fittings of the slip. High iw above, the maze of double line of wirclesr. antennae extending along the three after "sticks. ’’ The wireless cabin is unusually spacious, and. when fully completed, will be a comfortable apartment. Another modern improvement will eventually be installed in the Alice A. Leigh, in the form of a Delco electric lighting Bystem. The trannmitting and receiving instruments of the radio set are ♦o.mnactly arranged in a water-tight cabinet. The equipment comprises a- standard set supplied by Amalgamated Wireless (Aust..), Ltd. The transmitting' set. which X of the half kilowatt tyne, is on the quenched spark system a.nd tho receiving set is or the one-valve amplified kind. A compact oil engine drives a dynamo for charging the accumulators. Tn this unit, the dynamo nets as a- motor until tho engine etarts firing and this eliminates cumbersome starting apparatus. Radio-officer Wright is in charge of the wireless airanaements which are now nearing completion. Captain Kennedy ia master of the Alice -A. Leigh, and has been trading in and out of Port Jackson for many years.
