“Aorangi’S” Mishap

p. 82 · Read in the full issue

*T* H E Canadian-Australasian Line’s vessel Aorangi during her voyage from Sydney to Vancouver in mid-April developed a fault in the crankshaft of the inner starboard engine between Aus tralia and N.Z. The engine was cut out altogether, but it did not seriously affect the liner’s speed.

When the Aorangi returns to Sydney early in June, she will go into dock to have a new crankshaft fitted, and will miss the trip to Canada, via Fiji and Honolulu, scheduled to commence from Sydney on June 10. Her place will be taken by the Monoivai which recently was completely overhauled in New Zealand.
