LINERS The Commonwealth and Dominion Line steamer Port Adelaide arrived at Melbourne recenfly from London on her first voyage since extensive alterations wore made to her turbine engines, and averaged 131 knots during the passage. This is an increase of 11 knots on her former speed. The alterations, wbicn are also being carried out in the sister turbine steamers Port Bowen and Port Caroline, consist of a rearrangement of the blades on the turbines to give greater efficiency. Other improvements have been made in the vessel’s refrigerated machinery and holds, including the installation of more efficient aircirculating appliances. The C. and D. Line received a wireless message yesterday from the Port Campbell, en route from London, stating that the vessel will arrive at Auckland early on Sunday morning. This means a fast run of 36 days.

The Port Campbell is expected at Wellington about the end of next week.

After being engaged in the lumber trade for some years she was purchased by the Alaska Packers for tlie salmon trade, and did her last voyage from Alaska to San Francisco last year. Tlie Star of England is a steel vessel of 1806 tons net register, and was built at Dumbarton by A. McMillan and Co. SUGAR FOR AUCKLAND.
