EMPIRE STAR AT BLUFF

The Blue Star liner Empire Star arrived at Bluff from the Homeland on Sunday. Leaving London on May 7 In ballast, the voyage out was made via Panama, Curacao being also called at for fuel. Good weather was experienced till Pitcairn Island was passed, when a change was encountered, with heavy seas which enforced a,reduction of speed. Before and after lids the Empire Star was averaging IS and 19 knots, and it seemed certain a record run from England to New Zealand would have been established but for the break. The vessel’s arrival created much Interest at Bluff, as it was her first visit to the port, her Itinerary on her first voyage not embracing Bluff. With Diesel engines and bridge equipment similar In all particulars to that of (lie Queen Mary, the vessel is a splendid example of modern sblp-bnlldlng. Yesterday Hie liner began her Dominion loading for (he English market and on completion sails for Lyttelton, Wellington, New Plymouth and Auckland. She Is expcelcd to sail from the last-named port about July 2, being due at London on August 1.
