The Cardinia is a vessel of 1905 tone register, and was built at Port Glasgow in 1903 for German. owners, being then known as the Ojinda. At the outbreak of war the ship was on a visit to Newcastle, New South Wales, where she was interned by the Australian Government. For 12 months ehe lay idle, and in 1915 she was refitted and ohartered by Messrs Scott Fell, of Sydney, making several trips during the war, and experiencing several narrow escapes from being torpedoed.’ U.S.A. SHIPPING. It is reported that the effect of dull trade Is felt severely in all the United States shipping trades, and this is evidenced by the very large number of idle steamers that are tied up in the country as well as in England. France, and; Scandinavian ports. The shipping trade in America has not been so dull for many years, and it is difficult bo move any steamers in any direction to leave a margin of profit. Owners claim that so far th«y hove not been able to reduce operating expenses, and the laws of the United States, under which American tonnage must be operated are very onerous, and will have to be changed if thev are to compete successful iy with, i the shipping of other countries. Fewer I steamers are being dispaiched to Aus- I tralia and New Zealand, -and these take I much, longer periods on the loading )

berth. Even with these delays it is almost impossible to secure sufficient cargoes for filling purposes, many ot the steamers are onl— partly full when they sail. With ail these adverse conditions, the managers of the lines state there is no probability of any reduction in freight rates, and they can. see no prospect of over-freighting for a long period ahead, THE OROWAITI. The Union Company's new oil-tank steamer Orowaiti, -which, is to be employed in carrying oil-fuel supplies for the Vancouver and San Francisco mail steamers, is a single-screw vessel and. tile first of the company’s 1 ships with a "cruiser stern.” iShe was launched in April by the Greenock Dockyard Company, Ltd., and was recently completed for service- She is a shelter-deck steamer of 6684 tons (gross and 4051 tons net register, 408.6 feet in length, 53.7 feet beam, and 38 feet 6 inches moulded depth. OIL MOTORS v. STEAM. The severe depression which at present exists in the shipping world affords ’an excellent opportunity of ascertaining the relative values of various classes of vessel from the jpujrely commercial standpoint. The motor ship shows up particularly well in this connection, for, according to the current issue of ‘‘The Motor Ship,” there is not a single large oil-engined vessel now laid up, although probably 20 ,per. cent, of tile world’s steam shipping is idle, in port on account of the impossibility of operating it at a profit. It would be difficult to find a, more convincing proof of the superiority of the motor vessel over the steamer, and it is perhaps not surprising that ship-owners should keep their motor ships in service and lay up their steamers when it is considered that with oil and coal at their present prices, the daily fuel bill of the steamers is almost exactly double that; o-f the vessel equipped with oil engines. C Marine oil-engine construction is making steady progress, and there is now being built in this country a marine Diesel engine of 5000 b.h.p., which, when completed, will be the largest set of this type that has over been constructed. , OVERSEAS VESSELS.
