NIKAU NOW A MOTOR SHIP. STURDY COASTAL TRADER. [Pee United Press Association.? NELSON, May 15. It is several years now since the small steamer Nikau, with marked regularity considering that she spent six nights a week in Cook Strait, plied her passenger trade with the other Anchor Company vessels between Nelson, and Wellington. The vessel, which is of 230 tons, was laid up along with the Ngaio, the Regains, and other ships when the depression was at its height. After casting idle reflections in the still waters of the port for some time, the little vessel has again had attention directed to her," and work was recently commenced to fit her out anew. She was painted afresh, and with an altered structure and fittings, and with a completely new set of engines, the Nikau has been converted into a modern motor vessel for the carrying of cargo, and has been given a new lease of life.
