The Kaiapoi and the Kaitangata are practically sister ships. The former’s engines were manufactured by the N.E. Marine Engineering Company, Sunderland, and the latter’s by Messrs G. Clark, Ltd., Sunderland. During the last quarter of a century, much of the Union Company’s obsolete tonnage has been sold to Eastern buyers, and the ships have taken a new lease of life in trading on tlie Chinese coast and in other parts of the Orient. About a year ago the Union Company thus disposed of the Koromiko, the Karori and the Kittawa. Trie Kaiapoi and thfe Kaitangata are being replaced by the new up-to-date colliers, Kaimiro and Karepo.

As a result of the success attained with the pulverised coal-burning installation in the New Zealand Shipping Company’s steamer Hororata, all Iter boilers are to be fitted instead of only half of them. This was stated at a general meeting of the Howden-Bueli Combustion Company, Ltd. It was further reported that a leading steamship company, in recently issuing specifications for the building of two new cargo steamers, driven by engint-s of 7000 li.p., had specified the Howden-Buell system and designs for using pulverised coal. It would be of interest to know the company which has shown this enterprise (says the “Shipping World”). It would not be surprising to learn that it was the British India Steam Navigation Company, Ltd., which has just placed an order for two new vessels with Messrs Alexander Stephen and Sons, Ltd., of Linthouse. The 8.1. was one of the first companies, it is interesting to recall, to adopt the steam turbine, in the Llama, Lhasa and Linga, and its sister company, the P. and 0., owns the only British turbo-electric liner, the Viceroy of India.
