THE PORT OF OTAGO

KENT LEAVES LIVERPOOL The Federal Line steamer Kent sailed from Liverpool on December 18, and Is due :;t Auckland on January 26. thereafter going to Wellington, Lyttelton. Port Chalmers, and Bluff, and is due here about February 10. NEW SWEDISH ADJUSTABLE PROPELLER Some interesting claims are made for a new adjustable propeller which has recently been tested In a Swedish auxiliary sailing vessel (states the Syren and Shipping). The Kamewe propeller, as it is called, Is based upon an invention for turbine machinery made by Professor Kaplan 25 years ago, and Is being manufactured by Karlstads Met:, Verkstads, Sweden. It has been fitted to the auxiliary vessel Kane, of Norc'.vlk. The hydiirulle method employed for the new propeller Is said to he extremely simple : all that is needed is a small lever like that on an engine-room telegraph, and the effect is Immediate. Lubrication is automatic, and the results attained witli the Kane have fully come up to expectations. The propeller has also been found to have excellent qualities •vlien passing through ice. It often happens that vessels have to change their propellers in order to obtain tire most efficient result, but this Is unnecessary when a Kamewe propeller is fitted, as the angle of the blades can easily bo adjusted to the most effective position. Furthermore, it Is claimed, the propeller can he used to a much greater extent for manoeuvring purposes; the machinery can run at. full speed while the speed and direction ahead or astern of the vessel is being controlled by changing the angle of the propeller blades.
