The Union Co.'s now cargo steamer Tvaimni, which left London on Oeto'b'er ](5 for Cnpe Town, Hobnrt, and Auckland, was launched this year at Papendreeht, Holland. She was cngined by C. A. fvuypers, of Rotterdam. The Kaimai's principal dimensions arc: 120- ions gross; length, 23(5ft.; boom, P,7ff. <>in.; depth, 18ft. Tho Marine Department have decided to increase fhe sire of the gasreservoir cylinders at a number of unwatched lights on tho coast to double their present capacity. The increased amount of gas available for these lights will save the Tutanekai a lot of time on her trips around the lighthouses. Owing to bad weather considerable delays occur on account of the difficulty of effecting a landing at the miwatehod lights. The innovation will enable the Tutanekai to proceed on her way as the gns at the lights will be sufficient till the vessel returns on her next round trip. The largo cylinders will be installed at the lights at Olttiri Point, Chetwood .Island, Ohona Island, Flat; Hock, Ponui, and Mntakaoa. The new cylinders, which are to be of solid drawn metal, have just been ordered.
