News was received on Saturday that the Rotorua was experiencing delay in loading at Auckland, and. consequently, will not leave there until daybreak on Wednesday for Napier, Lyttelton and Wellington to fill up for London. THE CANADIAN CHALLENGER. The Canadian Challenger did not get away from Adelaide until Wednesday for Bluff, where she is expected to arrive to load for New York. Boston and Montreal. The ship is expected at Wellington on June 15. PAKEHA TO DOCK. As a result of her grounding at Bluff the Shaw. Savill and Albion Co’s steamer Pakeha arrived at Port Chalmers on Saturday morning from the former to dock for examination. It is anticipated that the vessel will leave Port Chalmers towards the end of this week for Bluff to resume her loading itinerary. She is not expected at Wellington until about June 25, and will sail from there about June 30 for London, via Teneriffe.

THE TAHITI. The latest advice received concerning the R.M.S. Tahiti is that the vessel expects to arrive at Wellington this morning from San Francisco, via Papeete and Rarotonga. She will land passengers and cargo there and is timed to continue on her voyage to Sydney at 3 o’clock to-morrow afternoon. MAHIA REPORTED. A wireless message has been received from the Mahia. en route from London, stating that the vessel arrived at Auckland at 8 o'clock on on Saturday morning. The Mahia, which has cargo ex the Matatua. damaged through collisipn with another ship, will dist charge at Auckland and Lyttelton only. OIL-DRIVEN LINERS. Advice has been received by the Commonwealth and Dominion Line in Wellington of the construction for the New Zealand trade of two large insulated vessels, driven by internal combustion or motor engines. One is being built in the Workman Clark yards and the other at the Swan and Hunter yards. Each vessel will be of approximately 11,000 tons, and will have a carrying capacity of 10.0UO freight carcases of 601 b., so far as meat is concerned, and space for 16,000 bales of wool additional. They have been specially designed to meet the requirements of the New Zealand trade, their lengths being shorter than would be the case were they propelled by steam, with the necessity to provide the usual space for engines and boilers. They will be specially suitable for working in roadstead ports and inside ports like Oamaru. Nelson, and ultimately Wanganui. The following are some particulars of the ships:--Length, 465 ft.; beam, 59ft.; depth, 43ft. 9in. ; sea speed, knots ; engines, Doxford opposed piston type. These engines have proved highly successful in a number of single-screw vessels, but they are being installed for the first time, it is believed, with these two twin-screw vessels. The whole of the auxiliary machinery will be electrically driven. The vessels are expected to be quite ready for next season's New Zealand loading.
