The steamer Kahu, a new screw steamer intended for active service on the New Zealand coast, arrived at Melbourne on July 4th from Shields.

The Kahu is built of steel, and the boilers and decks are also of steel. This makes her extremely buoyant, and she will be able to carry 200 tons of cargo, deadweight and measurement, on a 9ft draught of water. She is thus well-adapted' for bar, harbor, or river work. The Kahu has compound engines, supplied by the NorthEastern Marine Engineering Company, The diameter of the high-pressed cylinder is 17in, and of the low-pressed 32in.
