After a long and honourable service extending for more than 34 years the lonic has departed, and her place in the New Zealand service will be taken by a larger and completely modernised steamer which.will be called the Arawa, thus resuscitating a name associated with the New Zealand trade since 1883. The pioneer shipping company in the New Zealand trade, the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company, is concentrating one one class travel. This particular style of travelling is increasing in popularity in all parts of the world, and bo meet the present day requirements the Arawa is fitted out. as a tourist class vessel. In the reconstruction of the Arawa the Shaw Savill and Albion Line have spared no expense to make this vessel the latest and most up-to-date of her type in the New Zealand Service, and her accommodation and appointments will be a revelation to overseas travellers. Sleeping accommodation has been arranged for 292 passengers, the major part of such accommodation consisting of one or two berth rooms, but no cabin has been designed to accommodate more than four persons. The feature of certain cabins on A deck is that such rooms have their own private bathroom, quite a new feature in this type of vessel. The cabins are roomy and spacious, hot and cold running water systems having been installed in all rooms, cabins have also been fitted with electric fans, and the furnishings have also been improved, w'ardrobes, chests of drawers, and long mirrors having been fitted.
