There has been a vessel of this Uiml lately built In London by Messrs. Mills and Knight—the Usy, a three-masted schooner of 236 ton*. Suo i< an iron ship planked with wood from keel to gunwale, which is fastened to the iron by moans of wooden bolts with iron heads driven in from the inner aide’: of the ship, forming a second fastening,_ and preventing all galvanic action, and over this planking sne.w sheathed with the ordinary yellow metal. ■ Great results arc anticipated with regard to speed from this method over the- ordinary iron vessel. Jhis method of planking is said to be adaptable (or the restoration of old iron vessels.— Australasian Shipping iVnr.*, December lit. ~ : , ~ For some time past Mr. Davidson, of tie Otago Foundry. Dunedin, has been engaged in the construction of a steam barge for the New Zealand Land Company and Mr. James Smith, of Greenfield. Building operations were carried on in the yard in connection with the fouudrr, and on Wednesday last, says the Times the vessel, which i* now nearly completed, was 44 skidded M out of the yard across Cumberland-strset to within a few feet of the water, from which position she will be launched in a few days. The steamer Is by no means handsome, being very shallow and almost flat-bottomed, but it is only in this shape that she will bo adapted for the trade in which she 10 to bo used. The following are her dimensions Length, overall, 121 feet; waterline, 100 feet; beam, 18 feet; depth of hold, 4 feet 6 inches carrying capacity, 80 tons register. The vessel Is built entirely of iron, is divided into-eight watertight compartments, and w to all appearance very substantially constructed. She will bo propelled by a stern wheel driven by a pair of horizontal engines of 50-horse power nominal. Ihe boiler, which is not yet in, is a high pressure multitubular one. The steamer is intended merely as a freightbarg© to run between Port Molyneux and Tuapeka mouth, a traffic for which she is well adapted, for while she has a good carrying capacity her draught of water when loaded will not exceed two feet. The whole of the work in connection with this vessel has been executed at Mr. Davidson’s foundry.
ARRIVAL OF THE MARGARET GALBRAITH FROM LONDON. This handsome little ship of Shaw, Savill, and Co ‘s Captain Fergusson, arrived off the Heads yesterday morning, and as there was a strong fair wind blowing at the time she was not long in making the harbor, anchoring abreast of the wharf at 9.30 a.ra. The Margaret Galbraith is a smart tldy-looking vessel of 840 tons register, of Glasgow build, and has obtained a name as a fast traveller. She is no stranger to this colony, having been for six years a regular trader to Otago, under the flag of >ho Albion Shipping Company, until she was purchased by Messrs. Shaw, SavUl, and Co. in 1876. Her last trip was to Lyttelton. The Margaret Galbraith has made the passage out in very good time, takine all things into consideration, the run from dock to anchorage here being made in S 5 days, and from land to land in 76 days. She left the East India Docks on the 13th November last, and passed Dungennes* next day: beat down the Channelagainst westerly winds, and cleared it on the 19th with fair weather. M adcira was passed eleven davs later with a light N.E. wind that proved the first of the trades, which were light but steady, aud carried the ship to latitude Odeg. north. On the 12 th December, two degrees further south, th# S.E. trades were found; and on the 13th December she crossed the Equator. Passed the island,of Fernando Natrona on the 16th, and sighted Martln-Bass Rocks on the 21st, the wind by this time having hauled round to the N.E. Afterwards met with westerly winds, and on the 10th January passed Prince Edward Island. Two days later, when in latitude 4S'2O 8., longitude 4odeg. E., fell in with two large icebergs, and the next day, I3th, encountered a heavy gale, with the barometer as low as 28*40.
