WESTMORELAND'S REPAIRS. Good work is being done in connection with the repairs to the steamer Westmoreland at Port Chalmers. Dented plates are being removed from the vessel's bottom and taken to the Maori ironworks for rolling. The plates pierced by the rocks on which the steamer struck are also being dealt with. From one portion of the ship's bottom the plates will be stripped off to a length of 160 ft. Well aft towards the rudder a number of the keel plates will require to be removed, and this is an undertaking of greater difflculty than the bottom plates. A large number of the floors or dividing bulkheads in the bottom tanks are to be removed, and this also means the removal of a large number of rivets, In connection with which the acetoue process and pneumatic power are being utilised. The extent of the repairing to bo done may be gauged by the fact that 20 tons of cement will be used in recementing tho inside of the bottom, when tho repairs to the ironwork are completed. *NEW STEAMER LANCASTER CASTLE. On the 29th May the Northumberland Shipbuilding Company, Ltd., Howdonon-Tyne, launched the large single-screw, shelter-deck steamer Lancaster Castle, which has been built to the order of the Lancashire Shipping Company Ltd. (Messrs. James Chambers and Co., managers), Liverpool. The vessel is 416 ft in •;'■ Jength, 6Sft in breadth, and 85$lt In depth.

and, has a deadweight carrying capacity of about 9000 tons on 20ft Sin draught. Built to -a fine model to enable the maintenance of speed under all conditions, she- is classed 100 Al in Lloyd's Register of Shipping; ■ and has a complete specification to meet the requirements of the owners' special trade. The propelling machinery was built by the North-eastern Marine Engineering Company, Ltd., Wallsend-on-Tyne, and consists of a large set of triple-expansion engines, having cylinders 27in, 44in, 7Sin, by 48in stroke, with three single-ended boilers 15ft 6in by lift Cm, working pressure 1801b, fitted with Howden's forced draught. It is estimated this machinery will give the vessel a speed of Hi knots. Immediately after the launch of the Lancaster Castle preparations were made for laying the keel of a sister ship. Difficulty has been experienced in obtaining a crew for the Ulimaroa at Wellington, but she is expected to leave in about a week's time for Sydney. No passengers will be carried. . , On Tuesday morning the Mokoia is due at Wellington • from Lyttelton and Dunedin, and is to leave the same evening for Auckland, via ports.

A very suitable property has been offered for this-purpose, a Sydney sympathiser having come forward with a promise to give £500 to initiate the movement. The Blue Funnel liner Bellerophon recently loaded 19,000 bales of wool at Brisbane for Genoa, and then, after bunkering at Newcastle, shipped 15,000 more bales at Sydney, thus making 34,000 bales from the two ports. Her cargo is believed to form a record for one ship from Australia. The Government steamer Tutanekai sailed from Wellington yesterday 'afternoon for Lyttelton, where she will.be docked.
