The cargo steamer Aotea, which is due at this port from London next week, is on her maiden voyage, having only recently been built to the order of the Shaw, Savill, aud Albion Company, especially for the New Zealand trade. From the following description, which is taken from London Fairplay, it will be seen that the new steamer is replete with everything to fit her for the carriage of frozen meat and general cargo. Captain W. Scotland, who has been connected with the company lor many years, superintended the construction of the steamer, and was to have command of her, but owing to illness had to remain behind this trip, his place being taken by Captain McDougall, of the Matatua. The Aotea was built by Messrs. C. S. Swan and Hunter, Wallsend-on-Tvne, to the order of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company. Her dimensions are as follow :Length, 442 feet; beam, 49 feet; depth, 3210 feet: and she is constructed to the three-deck rule. , She has three complete decks laid, with j exceedingly lonx bridge, full poop and top- ' gallant forecastle, embraciu? almost the entire length of the vessel. On the top of the bridge-deck is handsomely-fitted accommoda- [ tion for the ship's officers and a few first- I class passengers. Jbor steadying the vessel on the long voyage, and occasional use of sails, she is provided with heavy masts aud a large spread of canvas. In order to suit the i dead meat trade for which the Aotea has been designed and built, tho machinery space is further aft than usual, and the enormous main and forehnldsand'tween desks have been insulated by the builders in a complete and j efficient manner, with the insulated space having a capacity sufficient for about 100.000 carcases of mutton, whilst the two after- i holds and 'tween decks .ire available for over j 10.500 bales of wool. There is also a bunker capacity of about 1300 tons. The whole of the internal aud deck arrangement." embrace all the most modem ideas for loading and I discharging C;.rgo, including nine powerful steam-winches, double derricks throughout, and steel derrick-posts fitted at the sides of the vessel. Water b.illast is fitted through- | out the double bottom, with separate I divisions for trimming the ship, and j for carrying fresh water, if required. The propelling machinery has been constructed by the Central Marine Engine Works, West Hartlepool. The main engines are of the triple expansion three-cylinder type, embracing Mr. Mttdd's latest improvements, the cylinders being 29-inch, inch, and 80-inch diameter respectively, by 48 inch stroke, supplied by steam with three extia large boilers, fitted r.icb H-.wden's system of forced draught, with x Working pressure of 180lbs per squar* inch. Weir's pumps and feed-heater, Mudd's evaporator, Ed mis ton's feed-filter, and Thomson's patent shaft coupling are fitted, whilst the propeller blades are of manganese bronze. The refrigerating machinery has been supplied by the Hailain Foundry and Engineering Company, of Derby, and consists of two powerful engines, each capable of cooling 120,000 cubic feet. These machines are placed at the fore end of the bridge deck, and lead from thence by means of the usual air ducts direct into the insulated holds and 'tween decks. During the trial trip, which was taken under easy steam at 69 revolutions, the mean speed was about 12J knots, everything working satisfactorily. THE WARSHIPS. H.M.s.
