The Rarawa arrived from Onehunga yesterday morning with passengers and 92 tor. 3 of general cargo. She sailed again for tbeMiorth in the evening. THE CORINNA. • The Corinna was expected to leave Nelson for New Plymouth at midnight I last nighl. She should reach here between 4- and 3 o'clock, to-day, bringing general cai;go from southern ports. THE KAMONA. The Kamona, after lauding about 1400 tons of coal at the breakwater, sailed at about 9 o'clock last night for Westport. The progress, being made in the matter of ship propulsion .was illustrated in' the ease of a Norwegian cargo-carrier ■vhich recently visited this port- Her propelling machinery was of the Diesel .engine .type, and although she carried about 4,000 tons of cargo her "Unloaded" draught was only 10ft aft and 13ft forward. The bunker capacity was nevertheless, sufficient to enable her, if necessary, to proceed on a voyage to the colonies and back to Europe without replenishing her oil-fuel supply en route. In appearance the smallness of her funnel as compared to size of hull, was practically the only difference casually observable. Her type is proving so serviceable and economical that the Norwegians have at present under.'construction a 20,000 ton passenger vessel to he similarly propelled by the Diesel class of engine. '
