New Engines for “Tulagi” and “Gizo.”
From Our Own Correspondent.
TULAGI, February 10.
THE Government is now standardising on British Gardiner crude oil en gines for its vessels. To date, two have been installed, in the “Tulagi” and “Gizo.”
Though these engines are costly to purchase, they should prove a decided economy, if appearance of workmanship goes for anything. The first Gardiner (kerosene-benzine) engine came to this group about 24 years ago and gave very good results. This was in the South Sea Evangelical Mission’s boat “Evan gel” (now called “Ruana”).
