OIL FUEL.
EXPERIENCE ON THE NIAGARA, SATISFACTORY RESULTS. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, July 1. The Niagara arrived at 2.35 a.m., having maintained a speed of 15$ knots for the voyage of 6330 miles, using oil fuel. Mr. Smart, the Union Company's superinending engineer, states that the oil fuel, so far, has given complete satisfaction. No hitch occurred during the voyage, and the oil proved more economical than coal. It did not causa deterioration of the ship’s plates through contact with damp coal in the bunkers. Four thousand tons of oil were shipped at Vancouver, and a further supply of 350 tons at Honolulu.
