The Otaio, which was dispatched from Sydney on September 8, Geelong on October 10, Melbourne on October 12, and Adelaide on October 19, has a big cargo of wool for the United Kingdom and the Continent, besides big lines of general and refrigerated cargo. The Otaio, which was specially built for the New Zealand Shipping Company, was the first of her type to be placed in the Australian trade, and the facilities provided for the transport of frozen and chilled produce are of the most modern type. The previous record was made by the Norwegian motor-ship Triton, which left Adelaide on March 31 last and made the passage to Dunkirk in just under thirtytwo days. . The new motor-ship Orari, a sister ship to the Otaio, is to serve the Sydney wool sales of last week and this week. Like the OOtaio, she is a very speedy vessel, and may make better time.
