RAKAIA IN COLLISION. .

THE TURBINE MAORI: ; According to the Christchurcli "Press,", the Maori was expected to come out of dock yesterday. On Tuesday the timber sheathing of tho blade of the bow rudder was replaced, and is how being caulked.' The shaft of the rudder is being lifted out, and will be brought ashore for examination aud lepairs. The covers of the low pressure 'turbines have been lifted for inspection, and the other machinery is also being overhauled. It was found that the turbines were in parfcct condition, and that the blades showed no signs of wear. A large staff' aro engaged on the work, and 'in order to got the shaft and a coupling out of the vessel, it will be necessery to cut through three, of the decks and the top of the tank. The Maori'resumes running in the "ferry" service on June 15.from Lyttelton. . . - . . THE END OF H.M.S. PENGUIN. .According to the "Sydney Morning Herald,* . the work of converting' H.M.S. Penguin into a ' v depot ship, 1 commenced ' about a month ago, ' will not be completed for several weeks. Th». Penguin, which was foiuierly employed in surveying, has been long laid up, and it was not until the arrival of the new Admiral that a use for lior was found: The question of erecting new barracks was under consideration, when ; the Admiralty authorities, acting-on a suggestion from this station, authorised . tlie fitting . ■up of the Penguin with cabins and berths for , about 12 \ officers and 200. men. The Penguin will bo permanently moored alongside Garden Island. H.M.S. Torch, which it has been frequently suggested should be handed over -to the ■ . Naval Brigade as a drill ship, is : still in x». serve. v c i'-v THE STAR OF NEW ZEALAND. - The Tyser luier,.Star of New Zealand, which vis due at Aucklandi, on June 16 from' New York and Australia, had a , stormy voyage from New York to Melbourne, and had the misfortune to run on a bank in Port' Philip, but'got off within a couple of hour 6. '"It was not a storm, but a, hurricane, that we passed, through," remarked Mr." Tom Bowling; second - officer of the steamer,-, in referring to an ex- .: perience which befol that vessel during the . .. trip. "For two hours," continued the officer, "the hurricane raged with becoming strength, " lashing the sea feather-white and causing dense volumes 'of spray to dash over the vessel." A couple of sails, Which- the ; steamer had ■ spread on the foremast to help her along, were blown away like paper, but beyond this she suffered "no 'ill-effects from the 'disturbance. . Another notable feature of the voyage was the- - total absence of a y glimpse of the sun for eleven consecutive ■ days- whilst the vessel was crossing the Southern Ocean.'. During, this ■ . period not an observation could be..taken, the sky being continually obscured ill a deep gloom. The Star of New. Zealand, which left ( New York on April 12, made only one stop-" jiage (at St. Vincent) on the way.. She accom-. plished, therefore, an excellent voyage of 43 days from the American port- to Melbourne.,'. The vessel is expected to arrive in .Wellingtoa .about June 22. • f . ■

; NEW P. AND O. STEAMER-S. ..'.The plans of the three mammoth mail steamers now in course of. construction for the Australian mail service of the P. and O. Company have just -been, received, from London by Mr. A. .Gordon Wesclie, the. acting superintendent of the company iii. Australia (reports the "Sjdney Morning Herald,") • The names chosen-. for 'the sister ships are Mantua, Malwa, and Morea, and the tonnage of each will; be about 11,500-tons. The two first-named are being built at' Greenock, and the last-named at Glasgow, and according to advices to hand satisfactory progress is being made.,; The, new -vessel's, are of the type of tha , Mooltan, which''' has'' established 1 ' herself as a great favolifite with the' travelling public, but '< liiany improveMenti' "will be introduced. The dimensions of the new. liners, according to the plans, are:—Length 540, feet; breadth 61 feet, and depth 37,,-ffeet'3 inches.;;': ' jW-fe-.' . j Accommodation is to be-provided oh each, vessel for 409 first salcon passengers, and for 198 second-class passengers—a total of 607. One of.the principal features of the new steamer 3 will be the large proportion of - single-berth cabins. -The' horse-power of the engines will be 15,000, and the vessels will be capable of maintaining a speed of between, 18 and, 19 knots. - ~ . ?r The Mantua, Morea, and Malwa will be 1000 tons largefr than' the Mooltan, will carry 100 more passengers, and will be at least a knot faster. The hope is entertained that they will be 1 completed in time for next year's'passenger season. ■ ... '' ■ .; On Sunday the Government steamer-Tntane-kai is expected to arrive back from Onehunga •and New Plymouth, v It is'expected that the scow Echo will ba dispatched from .
