Tho steam is first admitted to each of the triple-expansion engines, which drive .the twin screws, and then passes to a centre turbine driving the centre screw, before reaching .the condenser.- In this way fuller advantage is taken of the expansion of tho steam, and a very considerable economy is expected. The Otaki will be placed on the 'service between London and New Zealand, being intended for the owners' extensive frozen meat trade. Her dimensions are:—Length, 464 ft.. Gin.; breadth. 60ft.; and depth, 34ft.

COALING AT FR-EMANTLE. i' A now system of coaling has just been, introduced at Frenmntle, and from an account just to hand it holds promise of being a decided acquisition to tho coaling facilities at the West Australian port (says the " Commercial News")- It appears that tho coal was.conveyed to the quay, and side of tho s.s. Taroo, which was the vessel used in tho experiment .and in the trucks wore buckets containing about two tons of coal caoh. By the new method tho buckets were smartly drawn out of the trucks and promptly emptied into the steamer, and the work proceeded ,at such /a- rate- that in five and a half hours 177 tons'of coal had been taken on board., Hitherto only 15. tons of coal could be. handled, oil the quay- in an hpnr, but.'.it is-.anticipated,..that although ;by, tho new . method 30/.t6us was, shipped in 'tliajt tihio by ; the Paroo. it will soon be possible to iavo' 40 tons handled in th? hour.

It is expected that s)io will await orders at Port Chalmers for a while. f ■ What is asserted to be a world's record in coaling was achieved at Durban on August 10, when 2200 tons of coal were placed on the • Ivenilworth Castle in eight working hours. , , ; At l'a.m. yesterday the Arahura left Grey- ; mouth for Westport, where she arried at 9 • a.m. She was fixed to leave at 9 p.m. for Nelson, Picton, and Wellington, ana is due here lato to-nigljt. * 1 It is reported that the New Zealand Ship-. ping Company, Limited, London, has contracted with Messrs.
