Referring to the slow passages made by the Maheno on the Auckland-Sydney run, Sir James Mills said to an Auckland Star reporter that the Maheno was built to maintain a speed of 16 knots per hour. While on the Vancouver run she kept up a satisfactory time-table, and the fact that she is now making such long trips between Sydney and Auckland is a matter for some concern. The reason ascribed for this unsatisfactory state of affairs is that the boat is unpopular witn firemen, and the best class of men is not procurable. In order to attract more suitable men some alterations and improvements are being made to the firemen's quarters, and it is hoped that this will lead to satisfactory results.
