TEN NEW TRANSPORTS. When the Empire Transport Company began a few years ago ah extensive order was placed for 10 steamers of special design, and in clue- course the whole fleet was placed in commission; in fact, they were all running almost, before the astonishment caused by the placing of such an order had died down. Some came to Australia, others went elsewhere in other trades, and although successful vessels as regards the carriage of cargo, the fleet was soon reduced in numerical strength owing to accident and sale. The unusual activity in the British shipbuilding yards prevented others being constructed for some time, although the tonnage was badly wanted to replace that eliminated from service, but now the required orders have been placed, and very soon no less than 10 additional "Transports" will be afloat. It is understood that the latest batch of steamers will not differ materially from the older vessels, except; in perhaps, they will be a little larger and faster. DRIED FRUITS FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN. Cable advice has been received by the Union Company from the Sydney office of "the GermanAustralian Line, which states that the steamer Hanau, which went ashore in the Levant recently, and which was subsequently floated off undamagediand completed her loading at, Smyrna, left Suez on October 11 with a cargo 'of dried fruits for Australia and New Zealand. Tho Hanau is due at Sydney about November 18, and transhipments for Auckland should reach here about November 24. WALTRAUTE TO BE REPAIRED. Word has been . received in Dunedin. announcing that the owners of the German steamer Waltrauto had decided to have the vessel repaired at Port Chalmers on the basis of the tender submitted by Messrs. Stevenson and Cook. The amount of the successful tender has not transpired, but the magnitude of the. task may be gauged by the fact that the contract calls for the completion of the repairs within five weeks, and tho Waltraute .will have to remain, in dock the greater part of that time. A number oi plates will have to be removed from the hull in order to facilitate matters, . and give access to a number of buckled angles in one or two of her water ballast tanks, and it is understood that one of the boilers will have to be shifted a little to enable repairs to be effected to several bent frames in that section of the steam*!. An immense amount of hammer and chisel work will have to be put into the task of removing tho injured beams and frames, which will have to l>e bent back to their proper shape before' Oeing again riveted in position. Compressed air drills and other up-to-date appliances are available for tin! work, which will keep the dockyard very bu.'y for the next five weeks. A VENTURESOME VOYAGE. Advices received from Sydney state that the yawl Sea Queen is now on a cruise round tho wor'd, and may be expected at Sydney shortly. The yawl was built at Yokohama in July, 1912. He-' length overall is 25ft, and length "on tho wa'.erline 18ft. She is on the register of the Yokohama Yacht Club, and set out from that port on July 27 for a three years' cruise. The yawl will visit the Marshall Group, Brisbane, via the New Hebrides, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, and New Zealand. From New Zealand the Sea Queen will proceed to India, via Torres Straits, calls being mado at Timor and Sumatra. She then proceeds to England across the Indian Ocean, via the Suez Canal and Mediterranean ports. After, several weeks' stay in England and Germany, the Atlantic will be negotiated, and after cruising along the American coast the yawl will pass through the Panama Canal, and proceed along the Pacific coast of America. A call will be made at the Cocos Group, and tbenco the Sea Queen will return to Japan. Tanks are carried for 150 gallons of water, and a two jnonths' supply of food will be maintained.
