Ou the way across she met northerly winds and beam seas. Captain Davey said "that with the former funnels on such a trip -the Awatea would have had smoke and smuts in the after part. However, the lengthening of the funnels had completely eradicated the smoke nuisance. On her trial runs in Australia she averaged 23 knots, but it would take some time for the replaced turbine gears to be “run in.”
