According to I statistics published in the "Motor Ship.'' in j 1921 Great Britain and Denmark shared the honour of owning the largest number of oilenrined ships using the canal, the total for I each nationality that year being 13. In the 1 following year and in 1922 the Danish total remained the same, but tbe British figures I rose to '22. In the passage was made Iby SS British motor ships, and last year by Ino fewer than 52. against Denmark's IS. In I 1925 the other nations represented in any j force were: Germany 13, Sweden 11, and Norway 10, whilst tbe total number of \ motor "ships passing through was lIS. or more than twice as many as in 1922. Over '50 of these vessels made their first passage ;of the canal last year, and the actual num- . ber of transits was 324. corresponding to an ; aggregate of nearly 2.000,000 tons net. i i PULPIT POINT IN PORT. ] An arrival in the stream early this morn- j .ling was the Vacuum OU Company's new ! • tanker Pulpit Point, from San Pedro. She berthed later at the Western wharf to pump a quantity of bulk petrol into the company's H tanks at Freeman's Bay. The Pulpit Point. ■ which is constructed on similar lines to j'■ other tankers which have visited this port, jis built on the Isherwo&d system, being 476 ft 1 long overall, C2ft 6in in brea-dth, and 36ft lin moulded depth from the upper deck, and I has a carrying capacity of 12.300 tons deadj weight on a draught of 2sft- The living . j quarters for both officers and crew are ' j roomy and elaborately fitted, while a feature ■of the tanker is the installation of the gy°- r- | compass, gyro-pilot, and the wireless direc--1 tion finder. By means of the gyro-pilot I the tanker is automatically steered and kept jon her track. For this trip the Pulpit I Point, which is manned by English officers jand Chinese crew, loaded aHll her cargo of oil iat San Pedro, tating her departure from ! that port on November 26. Across the I Pacific good weather conditions were esperiI enced until about a week ago. when siroEg 1 Sou-sou-east winds and high seas were !encountered, lasting to port. Captain T. H. i Tait. who is in command, has with him the i following officers : —Chief. Mr. W. Simpson ; 'second, Mr. T. S. Scott; third, Mr. R. ' Wright; chief engineer, Mr. W. Hunter; i sec-ond. Mr. T. Chrisholm: third. Mr. G. . Brown ; fourth. Mr. W. Burns ; wireless opeI rator, Mr. H. A. Clarke. For further discharge the tanker is scheduled to here I this evening for Sydney and Adelaide.
