The Huia, which is nt^.the present time on the ' 'slip at Wellington, is undergoing extensive alterations.- A new boiler hai been built, . and the , whole of, the machiuery thoroughly overhauled.

Tbe former model was complete in all parts and fittings, and looked very, pretty &nd inviting. The captain's model showed - only the hull to indicate the lines desired for sailing qualities and cargo space. The directors pre- ' ferrrd the, captain's model as better suited for breasting rough » ater in the Strait, and adopted . , specifications -for huilding a- st-amer on this ' model, -with pas&en.er accommodation as' above stated, and the cargo space to be equal fo eighty tons..
