The new Royal Mail steamer which has been ordered by the Orient Steam Navigation Company, Ltd.* for the Australian trade, will be named the Orontes. Of 22,000 tors gross register, she will be the largest vessel in the Australian trade (says the Sydney Morning Herald). Within recent years he passenger service from London to Australia has been considerably improved by the addition of many fast and commodious liners. Unsuitable vessels have gradually been replaced by steamers specially designed for the trade, with extended facilities for the carriage of cargo. In order to meet the increased demand for passenger trade, ike Orient Company decided to build two new steamers, one of which wag to replace the Ormuz, which was recently sold. The first new steamer, the Oxford, was launched in October, and the Orontes will bo ready for delivery in autumn next year. The vessels are being constructed by Vickers, Ltd., at Barrow-in-Furness, and will have a speed of 20 knots. The Orient Company formerly owned a liner named tho Orontes. That vessel was purchased by the British Trade Expedition in 1023, and was to have been used for a floating exhibition, under the name of British Trader. She was later broken up.

SUNKEN COAL HULK. Operations for the removal of the sunken coa\ hulk Arawattf were commenced by the Union Company at Wellington last week. About 10 months ago the Arawatta fouled a propellor of the Federal liner Devon, which was lying in the stream, and which was about to coal, and a large hole was torn in the hulk's plating. An attempt was made to beach the hulk at Kalwarra, but she Bank in fairly deep water veryclose inshore. The coal was subsequently removed from the vessel by means of a _graidredge. In view of the forthcoming railway construction works along the Kaiwarra foreshore the hulk had to be removed and this is being done by explosive charges to break it up. OVERSEAS SUMMARY.
