SMOKE NUISANCE ENDED. TURBINE GEARS REPLACED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. Tuesday. With her funnels 6ft. 8 ins. longer and two turbine gears replaced, the Tasman liner Awatea berthed about mid-day to-day from Sydney, having been in tlie* Cockatoo Island Dock* Sydney, since the end of May. On her way across she met northerly winds and beam seas. Captain Davey said That with her former funnels on such a trip the Awatea Would have' experienced smoke and smuts in Ihe after part, of the vessel. However, the lengthening of the funnels had completely eradicated the smoke nuisance. On her trial runs to Australia she overaged 23 knots hut it would take some, time for the replaced turbines to “ run in.” The vessel was excellent at sea. _
