The cable report that the Orient liner Ormonde is to be converted for oil consumption i, confirmed by the General manager in Australia of the Orient Line. Ihe steamer will oome oil the mail run *' er Bh .?. "«■>' this trip and her place will be taken by the R.M.S. Orcades, tearing London on May 26. The convervl? he ? r ? lou^ e wiU the “ be effeoted by Messrs John Brown and Co.. Clydebank, who built the vessel, the work entailing a considerable expenditure in time JJS “i 3 ® ln money. The time occupied Z™* be . two ° r three months. While the 18 a 1,0 take her -turn again m the Australian mail servioe from London it is expected that she will be able to carry put a few yachting cruises to Norway, these being exceptionally popular with Austrahans who are in London during the summer. One of the reasons for the conversion of the Ormonde to oil burning is the fact that the Orient Company has now under construction two 20,000-ton oil-burning steamers which will represent the latest things as far as the Australian mail service is conoerned in regard to speed and the comfort of pas--11 is .in connection with the possibilities of being able to offer a considerably accelerated servioe when the two new steamers enter the trade that the Orient Company decided to convert the Ormonde, it being anticipated that an appreciate increase in speed will result. If antiofpations prove correct it might then be possible for Australia to secure a- faster service if other steamers of the line are found capable of similar conversion.
