Although the geared turbine continues to make slow progress in respect of cargo shipping, the favour which it is finding with owners of i Other typeß of vessels seems to be phenomenally rapid. There are several cases in which the owners of direct-driving turbine steamers are seriously of a mind to change over to the newer arrangement (says the London Shipping Ga«etti3)- . Indeed, one well-known company has already decided to make the change. This is the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand, whose Maheno ia to be taken off the Auckland-Sydney service and extensively overhauled at Port Chalmers. While she ia of, the change from direct-driving to geared turbines is. to be made. The Maheno, which Was built at Dumbarton, was the Union Company's first turbine steamer. That the alteration will immensely improve the economy of the steamer may be assumed without the least disparagement to the direct-driving turbine. KAIKOURA, PROM HOME.
