The shipping correspondent of the Time calls attention to the voyage of the Hororata to New Zealand, using pulverised coal. Not only was the voyage the longest one in which pulverised fuel has been used, he writes, but the performance was also distinctive by reason of the variety of coal consumed. Each of the following ordinary kinds of coal was used in turn:—(l) Welsh steam coal'; (2) North of England coal (Townley Run-o’-Mine); (3) Scottish Aitken Steam Navigation coal; (4) Virginian coal, which was hunkered at Newport News; and, (5) New River

J coal, taken on at Panama. On the I homeward voyage the vessel is to burn - 1 New Zealand (Blackball) coal. I The employment of these different - j kinds of coal is an indication that vesl 'sols using,pulverised fuel will be able - ;to bunker in all parts of the world where !ordinary steam bunker coal is availt able. They will not be restricted to ; I special routes or particular ports for , I their supplies. ! Hitherto many marine engineers have i ' assumed that lor raising steam from i (io to 65 tons of oil are the equivalent iof 100 tons.of coal. The economy that , 1 may be secured from the use of pulver- , • ised coal is shown by a marked reduction in this discrepancy, and it is con|sidered that from 75 to 80 tons of oil * would be needed to do the work of 100 | tons of pulverised coal of reasonable ; thermal efficiency. i Experience has now proved that a pulverised coal installation can be worked by the same number of men as are normally employed for an oil-burn-

ing ship, in which there is a certain economy, as compared with a vessel burning ordinary coal. Points brought out on the recent voyage of the Horo|rata include the following advantages secured from the use of pulverised coal:—(a) Increased speed; (b) economy of consumption; (c) the absence of any ash deposit on deck; (d) a smaller I staff for the boiler room; and (e) uniformity in steam pressure. Those who are now engaged in perfecting the system of the pulverisation of coal are convinced that such good results will be shown in conjunction with high-pressure boilers that in certain trades both oil-burning and internal combustion installations will in the course of time be superseded. Should this belief be confirmed coal would be restored to its old position in shipping, which would have far-reach-ing consequences for the British coal industry.
