ARRIVAL OF THE MAMABI. The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's cargo steamer Mamari, from London, via Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney, was reported from Cape Saunders at 0.30 p.m. She reached the heads at 2.30 p.m. and was boarded by Pilot M'Donald, who bjonght her Inßlde the heads at 4 p.m., and Bhe steamed up the harbour, berthing alongside the George street pier In readiness to take in cargo for London. The Mamari, which is on her first vißit to this port, is a steel-built veBS-I of 3583 tons register, built at Sunderland in 1889 by Messrs W Doxford and Sons, her dimensions being as fol-lows-.—Length 380 ft, breadth of beam 42ft, and depth of hold 30ft. She has a Btraight stem, with elliptic Btern, and is BChooner rigged. Her bottom i» on the cellular principle, so as to admit of water ballast, tho capacity for tho same being 600 tons. Sliehasa top-gallant forecastle 42ft in length, and a small poop 20ft in length which can bo used for atowing cargo, but in the event of necessity arising for space for carrying passengers It can ba utilised for that purpose. Her hull is Bpanned amidships by a bridge deck 98ft In loogth, under which is a small but very neatly fitted saloon, which is cither approached from the bridge deck or from the main deck, on the port Bide of which is the captain's room; there is also a bathroom and lavatory. On tho starboard side Is the pantry and storeroom. The officers have very comfortable quarters under the fore part of the bridge on the starboard Bide, and tho engineers aft. The entrsneo to the engine room is nnder the bridge deck, also the galley. The hull i« partitioned off into watertight compartments, and the greater part of the hold epaee is devoted to refrigerating chambers whichhave a total capacity of Btowing away abrat 45.000 frozen Bheep. The remaining portion of the hold Is available for wool and other produce. Steam steering gear is provided, ns is alto a spacious chart home on the bridge deck. She is fitted with ;iarge hatohways for tho rapid taking In and delivery of cargo, having steam wenches and derricks. Her engines were aUo oonetmcted by Messrs W. Doxford and Sons, and are on the triple expansion principle of the latest type. The diameter of the hlah pressed oyllnder is 27in, of tha medium 41in, and thelowpreised 71in, with apiaton stroke of 48In. The engines Bre of 350 horse power nominal, or about 2100 horse effective. Her speed being about Vi knots in ordinary weather on a Bmall consumption of coal. She haß two setß of refrigerating engines of Haslam's latest patent, the advantage of this being that if one engine should break down it can be undergoing repair while the other is at work. The Mamari Is under the command of Captain Maxwell, who has associated with him the following deck officers :Mr Stable, chief ; Mr Roberts, second; and Mr Cables, third ;Mr H.
