DELIVERY VOYAGE
New Ship For Coastal Trade FENJA AT AUCKLAND PA AUCKLAND, Aug. 29. A three-month voyage ended today for the crew of the small ship Fenja, brought to Auckland by the Northern Steamship Company for use around the coast of New Zealand. The ship sailed from Newcastle-on-Tyne on May 20 with cargo for Adelaide. After discharging this, she went to the nearby port of Bunbury and loaded timber for Auckland. The passage across the Tasman Sea took 20 days, and during this the- worst weather of the trip was experienced. The Northern Company will use the Fenja between Whangarei, Tauranga, Lyttelton, and Dunedin. Her name will be changed shortly to Hotunui. After discharging about 220,000 super feet of sawn timber, the Fenja will be docked before sailing to Tauranga to load for the South Island.
