on tbe waters of .the harbor/ i As £h8 vessel plunged, into the aea.with.a splalh she was "snapped' * fay numerous cameras, which were mounted on all points of vantage."" The "Koi," which, by the way, means "sharp," was hauled to the Anchor wharf, where she is now berthed, and as she floated along her linea were very m«nb. admired. •*Altdif tbe launching ceremony an adjournment was made to the company's store* a general invitation having been extended to the public to drink Success to the new steamer There wds a large and representative gathering of business man, . and members , pi the City Council acd Harbor Board. : . , Mr C -?.. Pellj isn proposing iho toast of the. new. steamer,- earn }f; gave him the. greatest , pleasure to" ask them to join in drinking 1 success to the "Koi," and to the enterprise of the company under whoso flag she. would sail. He. said he. wafi very pleased to testify, their pleas : ure at tho successful launching, 'the^ had just witnessed. The v.essel wfas exactly fitted for fehe trade for,wh,s'li she was intended, and she looked, very handsome in the water. The Company's spirited effort was a fine addition to the Anchor fleet. It was Mr Pell said, a curious thing to contrast the state of things now-a-days with those of years ago. He remembered the "Nelson," a vessel of between three or four hundred tons burden, which was the first steamer to trade on the New Zealand C^asß She came out in charge of Captain Martin, and was afterwards commaddbd by Captain Kenn.e'dyj Her chief engineer was Mr'.LfNani carrovv, who would be remembered by many of them. tThe vessel was brought out with the object of promoting steam navigation) in this Colony, and traded .round the coast for some time. ' A'f tefr a year or two she returned to England, the verdict being, so his grandfather said, "That it was perfectly ridiculous to suppose that the Colony could support a steam coastal trade. It was out of the question. " (Laughter.) These gloomy anticipations had been falsified, and he, alluded to the magnificent fleet of the Union Steam Ship Company. IHe said also there was no finer service than that of the Anchor Shipping and Foundry Company— applause)— and the advantages of the service to this place were many. Mr Fell then referred to tbe good work done by those engaged in the putting together of tbe vessel* which was imported from the Old Country in parts, especially mentioning the name of Mr Brown, and called upon those present to drink to the "success of the "Koi. " The toast was honored with enthusiasm, and cheers were given for Mr Blown. In replying to the toast, Mr J. H. Cock said that the vessel had been named "Koi," which meant sharp, out of compliment to Mr Rogers the manager. "Koi" was the name of one of Mr Rogers' charming twin daughters, and xhe vessel being a twin screw boat, tnoy had the twins to christen her. On entering into the Motueka trade they realised that the Lily was not adequate for ihe requirements of the trade, and the Company decided, practically immediately after the purchase of the latter vessel, to build a new steamer. She had now made her first short trip, and it was hoped when she was running that she would at least take an hour off the time at present occupied in the run between Nelson and Motueka. (Applause.) Mr Cock mentioned incidentally that in following up this enterprise the Company away between £1500 and £2000 a month in wages. He only wished circumstances would allow it to be twice that amount. (Hear, hear.) The new steamer would be the means of cementing the business relations between Motueka and Nelson. Motueka was a growing and productive district, and they would do all they could to stimulate trade between the two places. (Applause. ) They were indebted to Mr Brown for supervision of tho work of construction, aud in relation to the class of boat wanted. Mr Cock then concluded his remarks, which were received with applause. Mr Fell then proposed the health of the Misses Kogers, coupled with the name of Mr Rogers, the manager of tho Company, who was well known to all of them. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm, and cheers were given for Mr and Mrs Rogers. Mr Rogers, in thanking them for the cordial way in which the toaßfc had been received, expressed his pleasure at the honor the Company had done him in selecting the name of the vessel, and endorsed Mr Cock's remarks as to the good services rendered by Mr Brown. The formal proceedings then terminated. , The launching operations were carried out under the supervision of Mr Alexander Brown, assisted by 1 Mr T. Brown. The "Koi" was built by Messrs John Shearer and Sons. Limited' shipbuilders, of Glasgow, and was 1 shipped to this Colony in parts, and 1 put together by the Anchor Shipping and Foundry Company's staff. The ; vessel is 93 feet 6 inches in length, and has a beam of 1G feet. She is 1 expected to maintain a speed of ll^ knots, and will probably commence running in September. On the 1 boiler, which weighs 16 tons, £250 was paid in freight to this Colony.
