OFFERED FOR AUCTION
MOTOR-SHIP KAPITI
Offered for auction yesterday afternoon by Dalgety and Co., Ltd., the motor-ship Kapiti, which has been engaged in the service between Wellington and Wanganui, was not sold owing to the bidding not reaching the reserve. It is believed that private negotiations for sale have since taken place.
Built in 1902 at Paisley, Scotland, by J. Fullerton and Co., the Kapiti was originally a steamer, but in 1930 she was fitted with Diesel engines. She is owned by the Coastal Shipping Co, and has a gross tonnage of 249. :,
Built without the machine-gun rattle of rivet hammers, the thirteen-storey Women's Hospital of Pittsburg; U.S.AI; is that city's first arc-welded skyscraper. In its construction 23001b of welding rods took the place of 30iOOQlb of rivets. •
