The alterations in the Dakota’s machinery will, when completed, make her one of the fastest ships afloat. The alterations include a new set of tubular boilers, the previous set having been constructed on Dickenson's principle, and found to be insufficient for the speed required. The valve gear also being of a somewhat complicated construction, and not generally understood by engineers, is to be removed. This involves giving the engine a new main cylinder and new valve gear. The new boilers are being constructed of double thickness of iron, usually adapted in building massive boilers, are intended to carry very high steam and operate the engines somewhat on the compound principle, from which it is expected the Dakota (a sister ship to the Nebraska) will attain even greater speed than that steamer has shown in her voyages to New Zealand and Australia. These extensive alteration will take the remainder of the year to complete, so that the ship cannot sail before Christmas. She will probably go direct for Auckland.
