She is schooner ■ rigged, has a straight stem, with an elliptic stem, and possesses very fine lines. She was built by Messrs Denny Bros., at their Dumbarton yards, aud is constructed of Siemens-Martin steel; the whole of her machinery and appointments are the finest of their class; while shs possesses extremely comfortable accomodation fcr passengers.

Boeond ;Mr M'Guirc (late second engineer of the Te Anau), «bjef engineer; Mr Kcrr, second engineer; whjlo Mr Pollack (late chief itenard of the ship Timaru) is her steward. The Mahiuapua, although not fitted up so sump* tuously as some of her larger sisters, is very tastefully and comfortably decorated, and has every requirement suitablo lor a passenger vqjael.
