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.
