With the small amount of bunkers left him, the master of the Penybryn was disinclined to risk beating into the gale in an effort to reach the Kermadecs. The vessel will now have the wind behind her on the trip to Suva, and there will also be various islands adjacent where ho can anchor if his supply should fail him before making Suva. The Penybryn is now not expected to arrtve at Auckland until toward the end of next week to discharge her cargo of raw sugar from • Cuba at Chelsea. VESSELS OVERHAULING.

One would not expect a ship carrying the name of a British Dominion to fly the flag of a foreign nation, -but such is the case with the Norwegian motor tanker New Zealand, which arrived at Auckland on her maiden voyage on Monday. The New Zealand is registered in Oslo, and carries a Norwegian crew, but she has been specially built for the bulk oil trade betweefl the Pacific Coast and Australia and New Zealand. Coristructed - on the Isherwood system, the New Zealand (5665 tons net) is propelled by two Diesel engines. She is 500 ft overall, with an extreme beam of Gsft Gin, and a moulded depth oi 36ft Din. Her propelling machinery consists- of two powerful Doxford engines of four cylinders each, the cylinders being ISft 9in in diameter by 74in stroke. The tanker is designed to maintain an average sea speed of 214 knots per hour on a fuel consumption of 14 tor*s per day. Her bunkers give het a sea range of 20,000 miles. .For raising the necessary steam for auxiliary machinery and pumps, the ship is equipped with two donkey boilers. Each 1 boiler is oil fired, but one is equipped to utilise exhaust gases from the main engines.

The New Zealand's total cargo capacity is 040,000 cubic feet or approximately 115,000 barrels. She has ten main tanks, port and starboard, and six summer tanks, port and starboard. Each tank has modern safety devices foe the handling of refined products. 'The vessel is fitted with the usual cof•ferdams,. pumprooms, oil tight bulkheads, expansion trunks, yent and [vacuum valves, and a smothering system. Cargo is'handled by two main pumps, each capable of handling 2500 barrels of oil an hour. The suction lines are 12in with lOin connections in each tank. The New Zealand, which is a sister ship to the South Africa, is to be ope-' rated by the Texas Company, and will run between that organisation’s refinery at Los Angeles, California, and Australian and New Zealand ports.

Built at Barclay, Curie, and Company’s- yards, Glasgow, the New Zealand ran her trials on May 12 last. She then proceeded in .ballast to Los Angeles to load her first cargo. On the recent voyage she experienced average conditions across the Pacific to Australia, where she unloaded the bulk of her cargo. Captain L. V. Amundsen is in command, and lie lias with him a crew of forty. i £E Si @E @ S S 3 HI HI IS SI ¥j @E EE Si 21 HE 3E ill SI E
