ECONOMICAL MOTOR-SHIP. "How does the motor-ship compare with the steamer?" Captain A. V. Erikscn, master of the motor-ship Lundby, was asked at Auckland last week. The Lundby brought a cargo of newsprint to New Zealand from Nova Scotia. "There is no comparison, for the motor-ship is much more economical," replied Captain Eriksen. "But then so many improvements have been made in steamers that one does not know what will happen in the future."

As the Lundby was coming to her berth at Auckland the hulks in the stream in that port attracted Captain Eriksen's attention. More than 20 years ago he was master of the Northern Company's oil hulk Wanganui. When he was in the Wanganui, the vessel, a three-masted barquentine, was under the Danish flag, and was named the Carla. He was in the Carla when she was wrecked, later to be refloated, at Wanganui. At the time she was inward bound with cargo from Australia. Captain Eriksen stated that it was his only shipwreck. MARAMA'S TRANSHIPMENTS. The Union Company's Marama, which"arrived at Wellington on Thursday from Sydney, via Auckland, has transhipments ex the Orundalla, Temeraire, Comorin, Marella, Zealandia.

The Union Company's Waihemo was delayed at Wellington on Saturday by heavy rain; She is now due here tomorrow to discharge cargo from Vancouver, New Westminster, Ocean Falls, and Los Angeles.

THE MONOWAI. The Union Company's liner Monowai was due at Sydney yesterday morning from Vancouver and Auckland. The vessel will withdraw from the service at Sydney and will be replaced by the Aorangi, which is resuming after undergoing overhaul, and will leave Sydney on Thursday for Auckland and Vancouver.
