OIL FOR THE NAVY

Admiralty, the last supply having arrived by the Arndale last year. In former years the New Zealand Station brought out its own oil'in the tanker Nucula, but a few years ago this vessel was converted into a storage hulk at Auckland and is still doing duty as such. The Abbeydale, like the Arndale, was built for the Admiralty in 1937 by Swan, Hunter, and Wigham Richardson, Ltd., Newcastle, and she is of 8299 tons.
