Hl \ k new J st«amer for the Colonial Sugar Refining Company is now being laid down at the yards of the Caledon Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Dundee. 'She is expected to reach Australia about the middle of next year, and will embody nil the latest features oh design Of 3250 tons deadweight canacitv, the new vessel will be a semitanker; able to carry nearly 2000 tons of molasses. Whilst passing through the Suez Canal, eu route from London to Australia, the Orient Royal mail steamer Orsova, which reached Sydney last week, sheered badly and damaged her port propeller against the bank. I ortion of one blade was broken off, and another blade was bent. After an exexamination by a diver at Suez, it was considered safe to proceed, hut a fuitlier examination was made at Colombo before the passage of the Indian Ocean was attempted. Despite the mishap, the vessel made good progress to Sydney. On her return voyage to Sydney this week the Union Company’s Monowai may possibly try to break the Monterey’s record for tbe Auckland-Sydney crossing. The Monterey s best time, made iti June of this year, is 62-£ hours from Auckland In Sydney, and her average speed on that occasion was 20.37 knots. The Monowai is credited with the ability to reach 23 knots, and the installation of the Baner-Wach system of low-pressure turbines to utilise exhaust steam is considered to make the maintenance of a speed of well over 29 knots possible. The vessel has covered the distance between Sydney and Web lington in 66 hours without being fully extended, and for that reason it is held in Sydney shipping circles that a- time less * than 62£ hours for the passage from Auckland to Sydney should not he beyond her capabilities. In order to maintain her new schedule, with its extension of the service to Melbourne, the Monowai will Ijave to be at sea most of the time. Leaving Sydney on Friday, she will reach Auckland on (lie following Tuesday, sail again for Sydney on Thursday, and arrive at Sydney late on Sunday night or early on Monday morning. She will sail again for Melbourne on Monday afternoon, reach Melbourne on Wednesday morning, sail tbe same day for Sydney, reach Sydney on Friday morning, and leave that afternoon for Wellington.
