The Ofa ■ is built- on the diagonal principle, with three skins, the timber used being the best heart of kauri. She is copper-fastened throughout, and is coppered up to the waterline. Painted white, with a red ribbon round the hull, the Ofa has a very trim ;and. neat appearance, * and waa generally admired ae she lay along-

side of the Queen-street Wharf yesterday, She is fitted with a 30 horse-power Hercules oil engine, which, under favourable conditions of weather, will give her a speed of seven knots, whilst under sail alone she can .travel fairly fast.
