She will leave for Dunedin to-morrow night. An English Arm have made a seamless lifeboat, composed of two pressed steel plates. The boat, it is claimed, is better, more durable, and cheaper than the wooden or metallic lifeboats now carried by sea-going vessels. The many boats usually carried by steamers are seldom in use, and therefore are rendered so leaky by the action of the sun, weather, and heat radiated from the funnel casing that they cannot be relied upon to float when required. The new boats are built in two sheets of thin Siemens-Martin steel, pressed to the exact model of the desired size of boat, and riveted together with a steel bulb bar between them, forming stern, keel, and sternpost, and can, if required, be galvanised all over, and afterwards painted with two coats of enamel or other composition. Gunwale strakes, seats, and bottom-boards are fitted in the usual manner, and a strong hook or ring-bolt is fitted at each end for the reception of the boat-lowering tackles or mooring gear. Cuttors.are fitted with buoyancy cases in bow and stern to ensure flotation, even when the boat is filled with water. Lifeboats are in addition fitted with the usual buoyancy cases.
