Considerable local interest was aroused last year when a Norwegian vessel, called the Armauer Hansen, visited Lisbon in the course of a scientific expedition to the Azores. Such interest was taken in the, vessel, indeed, that negotiations for the construction of a similar vessel for Portugal were begun, and a contract lias just been made wit.li the firm at Risor, Norway which built the Armauer Hansen for a vessel of this type. She will be 77ft long and 19ft in breadth, and is to be completed in the summer of 1924. In addition to complete sail equipment, she is to be fitted with a 60 horse power re versible Bolinder motor. She will also be equipped with the most modern scientific instruments, as well as wireless telegraphy and electric lighting installations.

The Meriones is a product of Palmer's Shipbuilding Yard. Hebburn-on-Tyne, and ■was only built last year. She is a. vessel of 7684 tons gross, with a, length of 472 ft, beam of oSft. depth of 33ft, and w«3 constructed primarily for the company's Eastern trade. Like her sister ship, the Meriones is turbine-driven, and on the run down from Kobo to Newcastle averaged fifteen knots an hour, and taking but a little over twelve days, which stamps her as one of tho fastest cargo steamers afloat.
