THE BUCKNALL STEAMERS. The steamer Buccntanx (Captain Jenkins), which inaugurated the new line of steamers between Australasia and Canada, arrived at Wellington from Vancouver on Wednesday. The vessel left Victoria on the Ist July, and encountered more than her share of very heavy weather on the run, but she came through without mishap. In spite of the heavy going, the vessel averaged ten knots throughout the voyage. The cargo for New Zealand consists of 2,000 bundles of laths. On completing her discharge, the steamer is to proceed to Australia, but she will return to New Zealand about the end of the month to load back to Vancouver. LAUNCH OF THE ORARI. Advice received from London gives particulars of the launch of the New Zealand Shipping Company's new twin-screw steamer Orari. The christening ceremony was performed by Mrs J. Gould, wife of Mr J. Gould, director of the London Board of the .Shipping Company. The principal dimensions of the Orari are : Length, 460 ft; breadth, moulded, 60ft; denth, 34ft. She is primarily intended for the company's frozen meat trade from New Zealand, and the entire fore end is nnsulated in the holds and lower 'tween decks. One of the 'tween decks is divided into sections, and refrigerated by brine pipes. The remainder of the spaces are cooled by means of air driven through cool rooms, which are kept at a low temperature by the expansion of compressed ammonia. The Orari has five hatchways, each one fitted with powerful cargo gear, a feature of which is the great outreach over the ship's side which the derricks possess, thus enabling cargo to be discharged direct into trucks. In addition, there- is a large steel derrick at No. 2 hatch, which enables heavy lifts to be handled without shifting the vessel up to large shore cranes. Although not intended primarily for passenger service, the new steamer has a Board of Trade passenger certificate, and a few cabins are provided for passengers. Owing to the great free-board which _ ships in this trade possess, the Orari is fitted with two flying bridges, one above the other. The propelling machinery, which consists of two sets of triple-expansion engines, will bo fitted by Messrs Dennv and Co.. Dumbarton. TOW SHIPPED AT DUNEDIN. VALPARAISO, August 2.
