New OH Fuel Station When the Flew Zealand Shipping Co.’s new motor ship Opa.wa left Wellington for London on August 19 she proceeded tp England via the Cape Horn route and called at Dakar, West Africa, to replenish her oil fuel bunkers. She is the first motor ship since th# war to have made a voyage from New Zealand to England via the Cape Horn route without calling at a South American port to onload cargo. Motor vessels generally make the voyage from New Zealand to England via Panama and replenish their oil fuel bunkers at Colon or Curacao. The Opawa’s voyage was apparently a success, and has resulted in Dakar being established as an oil fuelling station for other New Zealand vessels. Two other motor ships arcwiow scheduled to proceed from New Zealand to England by the same route. The ship Port Alma is to leave Auckland for London .on October 31, and the Shaw, Savill and Albion motor ship' Zealandic is to leave Auckland fo.r London, Avoomouth, Liverpool and Glasgow. Both vessels will make the voyage via Cape Horn and will replenish their oil fuel hunkers at Dakar. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS London.—Oot. 24: Arrived, Makura, at San Francisco; lonic, at Kingston.
