f TO DEPART. FKOU WBLLINBTON. Thorpe Gienge, February 22. STEAMER'S ROUGH PASSAGE. AUCKLAND. Fel ruaiy 11. Tho Norwegian steamer Inga. which arrived this morning from Newca-tlo, was> rather roughly handled in the tail end of a cyclone which was encountered just after lea\ ing ' Newcastle. A heavy sea knocked the steering gear out of older, and another swamped the foredeok and caused some damage. When replacing the cam as covering on No. 2 hold, Holm, the chief mate, and three others were washed thrice along the deck. Subsequently the mate and aman named Meredith were swept from stem to stern by a heavy sea, and sustained some bruises. THE FASTEST WARSHIP AFLOAT. The following inteiesting particulars ar« to hand concerning the official trials of th\ fastest warship afloat: — H.M.S. Taitar, thtf new 33 knot British destroyer, which haj already, in its preliminary trials, broken the world's record for speed by attaining 55.952 knots per hour on an Admiralty course, carried out its final speed trial* on Monday, the 16th December, iif th» presence of various Admiralty officials The vessel maintained the unprecedented speed of 35.363 knot 6 throughout a con tinuous run of six hours' duration, thus covering a total distance of nearly 23' miles during this period. On six runs o\ et tho measured Admiralty knot during thi I six hours' run the mean speed proved , tc [ be 35.672 knots, and the best speed attained on any one run was 37.057 knots, thu# creating still another record. I Built throughout by Messrs John I. Thornycroft and Co. (Ltd.) at their works opposite Southampton Docks, the Tartar is one of the first five high-speed ocean-goin^ destroyers now being completed for th«j Admiralty. So far, her speed is very considerably in excess of that of any of the sister vessels by other builders, the fastest, of which has attained only 34-i knots. The turbines of the Tartar ore of Pareon's type, and these, as well as the Thorny-c-roft boilers using oil fuel, were constructed* by Messrs TUornycroft. The whole of the machinery worked excellently tbrdfigrhouj the very severe trials, and the boilers provided an amp^ head of steam at all times. The oil fuel consumed was very considerably within the guaranteed limit. The following comparative figuies relating to the Tartar and other ousels of the 33knot class are of interest: — Speed Speed on Speed on throughout best run measured six measured course. hours run. course. Qc snick .. 33 15 33 1 3T 65 Ghurka . 34 00 33 91 — Mohawk 34 51 31215 3" 29* Tartar . 35 678 35 363 37.037 With this new record to I heir codil it is lnlerertuift 1 to recall that Me-;rs Thornycioft built the fir-t torpedo boat for tin British navy, and ha\e al waits 'peon in the forefront in the matter of speed of boats of this ela-s. They cieated. amongst others, new worldS records with the Spanish destro\er <\riete in 1886. with the Daring in 1894. the De-pcrate in 1896 (this was tho fiist boat to do over 30 knot?), and with the Albafro-s in 1556 : the last-named vessel, with lcciproeating engines, attaining over 32 knots. The Siar of Australia, which sailed from the Bluff on Sunday morning for London, carried Dominion produce from her different New Zealand ports cf call as follows :— Wellington. 1240 tons; Nap ; er, 1372 tons : Gisborne, 737 tons ; Bluff, 586 tons. Her Bluff shipment included between 120tl and 1300 bales of wool. 672 caicdses <J lamb, and 427 d tto mutton.
