ARRIVAL OF THE WARRIMOO. The steamship Warrimoo, the pioneer boat of tho New Zealand and Australasian Shipping Company, arrived at the ocean steamer's wharf, Port Chalmers, at 5 a.m. yesterday. She is an exyremely handsome vessel, built of mild steel, arid is rigged as a three-masted schooner. Her gross tonnage is set down at 5000 ton?, and tho net at 3S3U tons >; while her cargo capacity is 3000 tons. Ine hull is divided into numerous watertight compartments, which is a sufficient guarantee to the travelling public of her perfect safety; and, in order to bring her within the scope of tho Admiralty requirements for a troopship and scout, she has to be as nearly unsinkab.le as it is possible" for a vessel to be: The Warnmoo is built on what is known as the three-deck grade, and has a lorig poop deck which extends over her engines and boilers, with a Ion" topgallant forecastle, and a complete system of water ballast on the cellular double-bottom principle. Her decks are of specially selected teak wood of more than ordinary thickness, and the strength of the vessel generally is far in excess ot Lloyds and the Board of Trade rules—the exceptional weight of the framing admitting of hold beams being dispensed with. Her line lines, double bottom, and watertight compartments combine to make her. a very suitable vessel for war purposes, should any emergency occur to render her services necessary, while every possible care has been taken to provide for the safety of passengers. She carries no less than six large lifeboats (two of which are constructed of steel, and are practically unsinkable), with a cutter and dingey. She is lighted throughout by electricity, and carries a second (or reserve) engine in case of the failure of the first, which' supplies the installation, while there is a complete system of electric bells all over the ship Her dimensions are: Length between perpendiculars, 3(oft; length over all, 300 ft; breadth of beam, 43ft; depth of hold, 2Sft. She is fitted with engines of 4700 horse-power, constructed, as were the:steel boilers, by the AVallsend Slipway and Engineering Company (Limited)- the cylinders of the engines being respectively 33, 53, and bom in diameter, with a length of stroke of 54in, r Vft-, four sfceel b°ilers work up to a pressure ot 1051b on Howden's forced draught principle and the diameter of shifting and strength of the engines generally are alsoin excess of the requirements of Lloyd s.. All the arrangements for the discharge of cargo are on the latest" principle, the steam winches, &c. being so arranged that cargo can be taken in or put out almost noiselessly, thus saving passengers great discomfort; while a very noticeable feature ;is the height of the bulwarks on her well-deck, which have been brought up to such a height that the water will bo kept pit and yet at the same time ventilation fully preserved' The whole of the saloon passen"cr accommodation is on the main deck, and is without doubt-of a very superior order, every possible care having been paid to light and ventilation wliile ample bath accommodation has been supplied, together with an unlimited supply of fresh water. Ihc saloon-proper is a very handsome .apartment immediately under the poop declc wlnle alley-ways run from it to the threequarter poop, thus affording a perfect current of air • right through on both sides of the ship. Iho saloon is 50ft in length, and its breadth extends the whole width of the ship, and is very handsomely fitted up with carved oak panels in polished frames in maple and walnut woods. The ceiling-is decorated in French white, and at either end are large mirrors siirmouutin" handsomely carved antique sideboards. There are upwards of a hundred revolving chairs, upholstered in blue Utrecht velvet, running along the centre of the saloon, while on the sides them are sofas'of a similar pattern. Light and ventilation aresiipplied by large side ports, fitted on a patent principle, and a large cupola, skylight of tinted glass. 1 lie berthing accommodation consists of some 50 stale-.rooms,--all handsomely fitted and perfectly equipped with patent spring mattre-ses iron folding beds, couches, &a. The sanitary appliances are perfect, the baths are all marble, each fitted with a shower, and there is an ample - allowance of.fresh water allotted to each, the ship carrying an exceptionally large number of fresh water tanks, besides being able to condense upwards of IO.OOOgaI daily. The ladies' boudoir is charmingly fitted up, while the social hall is a special feature, decorated with hand-painted panels or sa-tinwood, silk tapestry upholstery, and supplied with a magnificent grand piauo, by Bechstein. There is a luxurious smoking room amidships, panelled in slabs of polished marble and ornamented by gilded designs between piiasters_ of Parmazga marble, surmounted by a crimson frieze with gilded lines. ■ The seats are fitted with.arms, and the tables are of tinted bronze with marble tops, while the floor is composed of handsome encaustic tiles. The second.cabm accommodation is designed to "carry ■IOU passengers, and is very neat and comfortable the ladies being berthed on the port side of the slup, and there are baths, lavatories, &c. of the1 most approved style provided in this part of the ship ; while every attention has be<-n paid to the comfort of this class of passengers. The Warrimoo is litted with two-refrigerating chambers—one for cargo and the other for ship's use ; so that meats nsh, poultry, fruit, &c. will always be available at any season of the year. -The Warrimoo is under the command of Lieutenant J. C. Arthur 11 N R a gentleman who is well and favourably known iii all the colonies from his long connection with the Union b.S. Company. The chief officer is Mr L O. Wingam, Mr W. M. Muir (late of the Union b.b. Company) is second, Mr O. Matson w U' CV d ,^ r E- C. Macey fourth. Mr W. L. Wood is purser. The engines are in charge of Mr J. H. Sandiford, with Messrs W Harvey, R. Hayes, and A. S. M'lnnes as his assistants; while the chief steward is Mr II Gardner, late of the P. and O. Company's service Ihe Wammoo came into port in excellent condition and reflects great credit on Captain Arthur and Ins olhcers, although of .course she would have looked better had she been docked, cleaned and repainted in Sydney, but the exigencies of the trade did not permit this and she came on to JSew Zealand in exactly the same state as she amved.at Sydney from Plymouth. The Warrimoo I left Ncwoastlc-on-Tyne at S p.m. on tho 31st of August, and entered Sydney heads at 10.15 p m on the 12th October. Distance steamed from Plymouth to Sydney, 12.45S miles ; actual steaming time, ?7 days IS hours. She left Sydney on the 15th vist, called at Auckland and left that port on the 10th ;. reached Wellington on the 21st and left again same day; called at Lytteiton and left again at 3 p.m. of tho 24th inst., arriving at Port Chalmers at 5 a.m. yesterday. She had stroug southerly winds and fine weather down the coast.' . ■ ■
