Tn a big Atlantic liner there arc' over 1,000 ton-! of piping of various kinds. The boiler tubes, if placed end to end, would stretch about, ten miles, the condenser tubes over twenty-five miles. The condensers pump up moro than 50,000 tons of water a dav, and the furnaoes consume about 8.000.0C0 cubic feet of air per hour. No fewer than 50,000 separate pieces of tteel are used in the main structure of the ship. Hinemoa. Government steamer, was to leave Wellington yesterday for Southern lighthouses. Holmdalo, Maori la rid Company's auxiliary steamer, is due at Wnnganiii tomorrow from Newcastle.

Niwaru, s.s., had a rough passage an-ce-s tho Indian Ocean from the meridian to the Capo of Good Hope. Following the forty-fifth parallel of latitude, the liner fell in with a succefsbmof strong northerly gales and Tough seas, with thick, rainy weather. Being unusually deeply laden with 10,000 tons of cargo.' including 2.(XX) tons of steel rails, she made bad weather of it, and shipped large quantities of water. At times the soas broke on hoard with considerable force, with the result, that the steam pipe casing was twisted and wrenched asunder, teak wood doors were smashed in. and one of the ship's boats was almost lifted out of the chocks. However, no more serious ill-effects accrued to tho vessel, and although the crew went about their duties at i*rne risk, none of them sustained injury. The Niwaru, which came from Nov- York, berthed in the Victoria Dock, Melbourne, on October 14, having 2.500 tons of cargo to unload there before proceeding on to Sydney and New Zealand ports. She is due at Auckland on Monday.

After discharge of her cargo at London the Rangatira loads for Dunedin and Lyttelton, being due here about the end of February. The entrance to the basin in Newcastle Harbor, so far as Took excavation is concerned, will bo completed within a week. The rock ha 6 been excavated to a depth of 25ft below low water spring tides, leaving a channel 450 ft in width. The-work of making this entrance has been in hand row for about eighteen yea-re, and the propress made during tho last two yeare (says a contemporary) has been almost phenomenal.
