46in. in diameter, and the low pressure cylinder will be 82in., with a stroke of 4ft. These engines are to drive her at the average rate of 14 knots per hour at sea. Steam will be supplied by four boilers placed athwart ship, a very convenient method, and one that admits of a well-ventilated stokehole. The bunkers will also be placed athwart .ship, one at each end of the boiler space. The crew will find quarters below deck, right forward, as the vessel will be , flush fore and aft, with bulwarks which will make her dryer and afford more shelter to those who have to keep the deck. Steam winches, steam steering gear, and an independent steam windlass will be found among her deck fittings. As soon after the model and plans are finished as is possible, the order for the construction of this fine vessel, which will eclipse anything yet in the colonies, will be sent home. The Union Company will also shortly call | for tenders in the colony for the construction of a PASSENGER LAUNCH for the Company's use, as there are several places in the colony where such a vessel can tender the larger steamers and act as feeders to them, gathering cargo between whiles from different points to the north or south of the port where she may be stationed. Her length will be 65ft. keel, 70ft. overall, 12ft beam, and 6ft. depth of hold, having a light draught «f 2ft. 9iu. The framing is to be If ia , with an average of 3-1 6ths of an inch plating. She will be arranged first with a collision bulkhead, then a saloon 20ft j long, a baggage hold 10ft. long coming next, and abaft that the engine-room, the space right aft being fitted up for the crew. The engines, compound surface condensing, of 12-h.p. nomiual, will indicate 60-h.p., the high pressure cylinder being 10in. in diameter, and the low pressure cylinder 15in., the speed expected from them being 10 knots per hour. A single mast, to which will be ringed a derrick and a small steam winch, to hoist in or out cargo, will be supplied. Tenders for this work will bo called for shortly. — Morning Herald.
