When the motor-liner Aorangi resumes her running to-morrow between Sydney and Vancouver via Auckland, Fiji and Honolulu, a spick and span vessel will leave Sydney Harbour. The Aorangi, which arrived at Sydney on September 7, has been undergoi her annual overhaul. This “spring-cleaning” is in itself a most important episode in the life of a ship, but in the case of the Aorangi this year’s “spring-cleaning” will be, so thorough as to effect a complete transformation of the C deck first-class accommodation A feature of what is virtually the reconstruction of the deck will be a lessening of the ship’s passenger capacity to allow for more spacious cabins. Formerly there were on this deck 92 cabins providing accommodation for 182 passengers. When the alterations are complete there will be 56 roomy cabins accommodating 91 passengers. Twenty-three of these cabins will be beautifully furnished for two passengers and 19 for one passenger, and 12 special two-berth and two special one-berth rooms, each with private bathroom and toilet, comprise the remainder. Reconstruction of this nature is not merely the simple knocking down of a few intervening partitions, as there are many structural features i.i the ship to be reckoned with, not the least being the installation of hot running water into all the cabins on this deck. For two months a small army of plumbers, electricians, painters and carpenters have been working day and night at high pressure, and it is difficult to realise that out of all the seeming confusic- of men, material and the deafening noises of hammers and drills, order can be produced out of such chaos. In the matter of cabin decorations and furnishing everything to invite and delight the most discriminating traveller has been thought of. Delicate pastel shades of green or biscuit will blend with the delightful furnishings. Large bedsteads are the fashion now and all the rooms will contain a handsome Queensland maple bedstead of ample dimensions fitted with a patent spring mattress; a dressing and writing table; radiator, hot and cold running water. Capacious wardrobes, reading lamps of latest design and special non-dazzle strip lights over the mirrors of the dressing table are also being provided. The rugs for the various cabins are of modern design in keeping with the rest of the furnishings, and were first introduced to the public at the last British industrial fair at London.
