Session 11. 1906. NEW ZEALAND.

INSPECTION OF MACHINERY: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR 1905-6.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

The Hon. the Minister in Charge of the Inspection of Machinery Department to His Excellency the Governor. My Lord, — Inspection of Machinery Department, Wellington, Ist June, 1906. I do myself the honour to transmit herewith, for your Excellency's information, the report of the Inspection of Machinery Department of the colony for the financial year ended the 31st March last. I have, &c, Wm. Hall-Jones, His Excellency, the Minister in Charge of the Inspection of Eight Hon. Lord Plunket, K.C.V.0., Machinery Department. Governor of New Zealand.

The Chief Inspector of Machinery to the Hon. the Minister in Chargf, of the Inspection of Machinery Department. Sir, — Inspection of Machinery Department, Customhouse Buildings, Ist June, 1906. I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report on the operations of the Inspection of Machinery Department during the twelve months which ended on the 31st March, 1906. Boilers Inspected. During the past year 5,211 steam-boilers have been thoroughly examined, and certificates duly issued for them. This number is in excess of the number examined during the previous year with" the same staff. All parts of New Zealand have been visited by the Inspectors, to overtake the work of inspections, and the Inspectors engaged in this arduous portion of their work often perform their duties under very trying conditions. There are several boilers still overdue for inspection, but I am in hope of the arrears being completely pulled up by the end of another year. In each succeding year new settlement districts are extending, and in such districts new machinery is introduced, so that the time occupied with the inspections in a district this year is no criterion of the time required to complete the inspections in such district during the succeeding year. I can bear testimony, however, to the zeal displayed generally by the staff in their endeavours to cope with the work in the several districts. All the different classes of machinery in connection with these steam installations have been thoroughly examined at these annual inspections. Government Boilers. There have been fifty-eight boilers examined during the year at the following Government institutions and works throughout the colony—namely, mental hospitals, defences, coal-hulks, hospitals, collieries, workshops, Public Works Department, and experimental farms. In addition to these boilers there have also been inspected twelve lifts, four Pelton wheels, one gas-engine, and three oil-engines ; and certificates were issued for all these boilers and machinery without any fee being charged. Beturn No. 1 gives full particulars respecting the power of boilers and classes of machinery, together with the fees for these inspections.

Defects op Boilers and Fittings. A large number of defects both in boilers and their fittings have been discovered during the annual inspections, some of them being of a very serious nature. The existence of such defects shows the great need of these periodical visits being made by the staff of this Department. The Inspectors of Machinery have all special training for their work, and they fully report to the Head Office at Wellington, setting out in detail in their reports the result of their investigations. The total number of defects discovered in boilers and fittings is 1,350, and out of this number eighty-nine were considered dangerous. The descriptions of these defects are given in Eeturn No. 2. New Boilers. The total number of new boilers registered in the colony during the year is 355, and the total horse-power of these new boilers is 6,981. Of these new boilers there ware made in the colony 194, of 3,703 total horse-power ; and 161 were imported, of a total horse-power of 3,278. The following table shows the numbers and horse-power of these boilers, and the districts to which they have gone : —

Gas- and Water-dbiven Machinery and Lifts, and Machinery Inspections. Gas-engines totalling 932 and 413 oil-engines were inspected, and 324 water-motors, 428 lifts, and 268 hoists and motors were examined. Special inspections were made of machinery, and 835 certificates were issued. The grand total number of machinery inspections made during the year is 3,200. Fencing of Machinery. In Eeturn No. 4 is set out the details of fencing that was found necessary to be erected, to make the machinery in motion safe, and to insure personal safety. Very high speeds are commonly run in a great many of our manufactories and the belting, pulleys, and other running-gear, ■unless properly protected, are a menace to persons who control the machines while at work. Examination of Engine-drivers. The examinations of engine-drivers have been duly carried out at the times and places set out in the regulations for these examinations. Special examinations have also been held at several other places throughout the colony during the year. Tiie number of candidates who successfully passed their examinations at such places is 799. A detailed list of such candidates, with the grades and classes of examination they have now passed, is shown by Eeturns Nos. 7 to 13, inclusive. The various examinations were held at the following places—namely : Alexandra South, Auckland," Blenheim,* Christchurch,* Clyde, Collingwood, Cromwell," Dannevirke,* Denniston, Dunedin,* Foxton, Gisborne, Greymouth,* Hawera, Invercargill,* Kaitaia, Maketu, Masterton, Miller's Flat, Napier," Nelson,* Opotiki, Palmerston North, Bahotu, Beef ton,* Eoxburgh, Stratford, Timaru,* Waitapu, Waipiro Bay, Wanganui,* Wellington,* Westport.* Accidents. It is with satisfaction that I again report that no boiler explosion involving bodily injury to any one has occurred during the year, but I regret to have to report that several accidents have occurred to persons employed about machinery in motion, and that several of these accidents have resulted in loss of life. The particulars of the several accidents are given in Eeturns Nos. 5 and 6. All machinery in motion is, as far as practicable, safely guarded and properly fenced, but custom and habit sometimes make employees careless, so that most of the accidents that happen in connection with machinery are the result of carelessness of the employee.

Postal Department and Police Depabtment. The Department is indebted to the officers of both the Postal Department and the Police Department for their valuable assistance rendered during the year, the Postal Department materially helping in connection with the collection of boiler fees and the issue of certificates to engine-drivers, and the Police Department assisting in bringing defaulters into line, and help in carrying out the prosecutions that have taken place during the year for breaches of the Inspection of Machinery Acts. Most of these prosecutions were on account of owners employing uncertificated or improperly certificated engine-drivers, and engine-drivers taking charge of boilers and machinery without being the holders of the proper certificates entitling them to take charge of such a boiler or machinery. Maeine Engineebs' Examinations. These examinations for certificates of competency have been held at the following places, namely, Auckland,* Christchurch,* Dunedin,* Gisborne, Greymouth,* Invercargill, Longburn, Manapouri, Napier,* Nelson*, Oamaru, Te Kopuru, Timaru, Wanganui,* and Wellington*; and at these examinations 191 candidates passed their examination successfully. A great number of new questions have been added to the mathematical portion of the first and second marine engineers' examinations during the year. During the past few years quite a number of new questions have been added to the oral-examination syllabus, embracing questions in refrigeration, hydraulic power on board ships, electric lighting and dynamo construction, and the different classes of steering-gear. The marine engineers who now sit for examination require to possess a very complete knowledge of all tRe various machinery which is to be found on a modern steamship. Some of the candidates who passed these higher class examinations this year are to be congratulated on the good sound practical and theoretical knowledge displayed by them, which shows that such knowledge is not the result of mere cram, but has developed that resourcefulness in arriving at conclusions and answers to questions that would be useful in emergency. Some of the drawings done by the candidates are excellent productions both in neatness and in accuracy of details. The third-class marine engineers' certificate still appears to be very popular with young engineers who have just completed their apprenticeship, and no doubt their looking forward to gain this certificate is an incentive to their home studies to qualify themselves when the opportunity comes. Eeturn No. 14 gives the names of the successful candidates and the various grades for which they passed, the total number of applicants, total fees payable, and the number of candidates who failed to pass such examinations. Survey op Ships and Steamers. This branch of the Department's work keeps on steadily increasing in each successive year. The tendency of late years is the employment of large steamers in trade where in quite recent years very much smaller steamers were employed. In the case of these larger steamers much longer time is occupied in their survey, as most of these steamers are now provided with water-ballast tanks, and great care has to be taken in thoroughly inspecting these tanks. At the annual survey of these steamers a large number of repairs were found necessary, and all these repairs have been carried out satisfactorily under the Department's Surveyors of Ships. Numerous surprise visits have been made to steamers for the purpose of inspecting their equipments and the vessels generally; but, as a rule, everything was found on such visits to be in capital order, and apparently well cared for. A notable addition to the steamers in New Zealand has been made by the arrival of the s.s. " Maheno," as this vessel is the first steamer fitted with turbine, machinery to arrive in the colony. She was built and engined by Messrs. Denny Bros, of Dumbarton, and is fitted with turbine engines of the Parson pattern, and has three propellers on three separate shafts. The freedom from vibration is very noticeable in this vessel, as compared with the vibration in steam vessels fitted with the ordinary reciprocating engines. Her passenger acccommodation is luxurious and exceedingly well ventilated. Explosives. During the year 226 written permits were issued by the Department in Wellington for the carriage of explosives on steamers. Surveys of Ships fob Seaworthiness. During the year thirty-five of these special surveys were made throughout New Zealand, and the repairs found necessary on such surveys to make the vessels seaworthy have been effected under the supervision of the Surveyors of this Department. These surveys have often been made by the officers of this Department at the various ports of the colony after hours, so as to expedite the work on behalf of the owner; and such assistance so given by the Department has been much appreciated by the owners. The causes for these surveys include grounding of vessels, defective steam-pipes, collisions, fire, and breakdowns of machinery. Eeturn No. 17 gives full particulars of each case in detail. The fees earned by these surveys amount to £79.

Government Steamers. The following Government steamers have been surveyed during the year, namely: " Antrim," "Ben Lomond,"* "Countess of Eanfurly,"t " Hinemoa," " Janie Seddon," "Manurere"t " Mountaineer,"* and "Tutanekai." A thorough overhaul of the s.s. " Hinemoa " was carried out in Auckland under the supervision of one of the Surveyors of this Department. The shafting, cylinders, boilers, and the main engines, and the whole of the gear on deck were completely overhauled, and considerable renewals of parts of the machinery were made. This work was done in a satisfactory manner, and since the overhaul the main engines are now running very much better. This vessel probably does as much steaming in any one year as any vessel in New Zealand waters, and it is creditable that she is rarely ever stopped through any defect either in machinery, hull, or equipments. Additional Steamers and Vessels surveyed for the First Time. An addition (totalling 38) has been made during the year to the number of steamers and to vessels fitted with auxiliary power in New Zealand. The names of these steamers and vessels are: " Apanui," " Aupori," " Awaroa," "Baden-Powell," "Bravo," I "Echo,"f "Fairburn,"t "Hercules,"! "Ivy," "Kaeo,"t " Kaituna," " Karamea," "Kestrel," " Kina,"-f " Koroi," " Kotare," "Lomen," "Maheno,"t "Manuka," "Mamirere," " Mascotte," " Murihiku," "Navua," "Omawi,"t "Oreti," "Pelican," " Rahutai," "Ripple," " Ruru," "Settler," "Sir William Wallace," "Squall," " Terewai," "Te Wharu,"t " Torgautin," " Tuatea," " Wairuna," " Wakapai." Survey op Steamers. The Return No. 15 gives the total number of steamers surveyed by the Surveyors of this Department during the year, and also gives the names of the steamers, together with their tons register, nominal horse-power, indicated horse-power, and the brake horse-power of oil-engined vessels, together with the nature of their machinery and propeller. The total number of surveys made of steamers and oil-engined vessels were 353, and the number of vessels surveyed was 326. The fees received for these surveys amount to £1,809 10s. Sailing-ships. Intercolonial sailing-ships (comprising both wooden vessels and iron vessels) were surveyed during the year. Extensive repairs to some of these vessels were found necessary, and many renewals of parts were effected. Return No. 16 gives the full particulars. The total fees received for these surveys amount to £41 ss. Return No. 19 is a supplement to Return No. 21 of the last annual report, as it shows this year's additional boilers and the class of certificated drivers required to be in charge of them ; also, the changes of ownership that have occurred in the boilers during the year, and the amended sizes of cylinders as now measured, together with the horse-power of these boilers. Returns. The details of the several returns accompanying this report, and numbered 1 to 19 inclusive, are as follows :— 1. Number and class of boilers inspected, and fees payable on these ; the machinery inspected, "and the fees payable thereon ; and the classes and numbers of engine-drivers' certificates issued, and the fees payable therefor. 2.

Name and Address of Owner. Description ol Machinery. Name and Age of Person injured. Date and Nature of Accident. Cause of Accident, and Remarks. Henry Brown and Co., Inglewood Circular saw John Storring ; 42 years 4th February, 1905: Cut end off his thumb While he was pushing the timber towards the saw he inadvertently allowed his thumb to come in contact with the saw, losing the point of it. Green placed his hand under the guard which protects the cog-wheels of the mincingmachine. The cog-wheels drew in the fingers of left hand severely crushing them. Rouse accid<ntally allowed his hand to get entangled in the fibre while working at the scutcher. It was drawn in and severely torn. While Nelson was employed at the punching-machine, ho inadvertently placed his thum undt r punch and lost part of it. Through inattention, Kennedy allowed his fingers to touch the saw. Haltham was engaged grinding peas into m> al. The mill got choked through the peas being moist. Hnltbam stopped the engine and inserted his hand into the feed-box to clear mill b> fore the mill had properly come to a standstill, with the result that the feed rollers caught bin fingers and severely ciushed them. Thomson was working the machine carding flock which is thrown into a hopper. He had removed part of the covering over bade part of the machine, evidently out of curiosity. He then placed his hand into the machine, when it was caught. Part of the machine had to be cut to get his hand out. The removing of the covering was entirely contrary to orders. A wedge-shaped stone had got in along with the clay, which the rollers of the machiue refused to pass. Brown was told by the manager, who was about to stop the machine, to remove the stone, and, in getting into position to do so, placed his right haud on the edge of the opening above the rollers. His hand slipped while the wtignt of his body was on it, and went in between the rollers before they had stopped, severely crushing his fingers. Dixon, while working at the planing machine, allowed his hand to come in contact with the knives of machine, which damaged his fingers. Winder was in charge of a flock-making machine, and when removing an obstruction from the rollers his fingers were drawn into machine. In freeing a jammed tray by pulling on the chain of the carrier, the jamb suddenly giving, he got his fingers caught between the chain and the chain-wheel. Griffin and Sons (Li mited), Alton Street, Nelson Cake mincing - mac'-ine P.

Kelleher ; 30 years 26th July, 1905 : both legs broken and one arm broken in two places 27th July, 1905 : tips of two fingers |cut off 12th August, 1905 : index finger cut off and next finger injured 16th August, 1905 : severe out on shoulder 17th August, 1905 : removal of whole of scalp and half of one ear torn away 30th August, 1905: crushed hand Wilcook was engaged sweeping on the ground, and while doing so hie clothing got foul of some shafting in motion. There was a beltpulley where the belt is only used every second or third day for driving the smuttingmaehines. When the belt is off it is hung up with a string. This string broke, and the man caught the end of the string in his hand. The string having caught on the shaft meantime, he was pulled in and carried round the shaft. Packer slipped while at work at a planing-machine, and his hand coming into contact with the cutters of machine, took the tips off two of his fingers. Everett was working at a circular saw and allowed his fingers to come into contaot with the saw. Whilst cutting firewood Holtham allowed a round piece of wood to roll on to sawbench and to saw, buckling it and oausing it to break. A piece of the broken saw struck him on the shoulder, causing the injury. Shepherd was standing underneath the main shafting, when her hair became entangled round the shaft, causing the injury to her head. Kelleher attempted to lubricate oog-wheels of the stonebreaker before the machine had stopped, when his hand was caught by the maohinery and crushed. Holmes inadvertently placed his fingers under the mould-ing-machine and got them crushed. Smith while working at the lathe attempted to clean the point of cutting-tool with his finger, when he lost the point of it. Barker slipped when working at this machine, when his finger came into contact with it. French attempted to push the belt over with his hand while machine was in motion, when he got his finger oaught between the belt and pulley. Murray was working at doughmachine when his hand was drawn in between the rollers, his hand and arm being badly torn. Patton was engaged disconnecting a water-service pipe. To get at the pipe he had to use a ladder, and was working between the pipe and eccentric sheave attaohed to a pump below. He was wearing a loose jacket at the time, which caught in the key, which was projecting about 3 in. beyond the eccentrio on the shaft. Overend, whilst working at this machine for cleaning skins, allowed his hand to come in contact with the revolving arms of the machine whilst in motion. I.

Name and Address of Owner. Description of Machinery. Name and Age of Persons injured. Date and Nature of Accident. Cause of Accident, and Remarks. Stewart Bros., Sandymount Flax-mill William Fyfe; 26 years ]4th Ap:il, 1905 : arm amputated Fyfe was engaged scutching fibre at this flax-mill. His hand must have got entangled in a hank of fibre, and his arm was drawn into the machine and mangled. Jones was crushed by the lift. No one saw the accident occur. It is supposed that he was standing on the lift when it was ascending and tried to get off. A belt had been removed from a pulley on the dredge and was resting loosely on the shaft driving the screen. Hosking went to get hold of this belt and somehow got entaugled in it. He was wound round the shaft, and was fearfully mangled. Cummins was engaged carting fibre to the mill, and happening to be in the scutching- shed for a few minutes, he snatched up a few hanks of flax, and by mistake tried to snatch a wet hank which drew his hand into the scutoher. Burn and was travelling on this goods-lift, against the notice which was posted up that no one was to travel on goods-lift. He evidently put his head outside framing of the oage on which he was travelling, and his head ooming in contact with a projecting beam crushed it, causing his death. A. Harvey and Sons, Albert Street, Auckland Goods-lift Benjamin Jones; 61 years 8th July, 1905: crushed in lift Rising Sun Gold-dredg-ing Company, Cromwell Dredging-plant John Towan Hosking ; 37 13th July, 1905: both legs broken off below the knees.

Date of Survey. Name of Vessel. Where surveyed. Nature of Casualty, &c. 1905. May 8 S.s. Rotomahana Wellington After the vessel had been docked at Port Chalmers a slight leak was discovered in after stokehold on port side, about 3 ft. above bilge - stringer, on a voyage from Port Chalmers to Lyttelton. The damage to vessel's hull was repaired by bolting plate over defective part of hull plating. A length of vessel's main steam-pipe was found defective at the neck of a Pope joint. The defective portion was out off, and a new piece fitted. The pipe was, on completion of repairs, tested by hydraulic pressure before being put on board. Two of the vessel's main steam-pipes, the flanges of which were defective, were repaired by the flanges being rebrazed. After the repairs were completed the pipes were tested to 300 lb. hydraulic pressure before being put on board. One of the main steam-pipes of this vessel was found to be defective. The bad part was cut out and a new piece fitted in, and the pipe was afterwards tested to 320 lb. hydraulic pressure before being put on board. The bulwarks of this vessel were damaged by oollision with coal-hulk " Helen " in Auckland Harbour on the 6th July. The damaged portion of the bulwarks was straightened, and new plates were fitted where necessary. Whilst on a voyage from Greymouth to Foxton, coal-laden, and whilst crossing the Manawatu bar at midnight on the 20th July, vessel took the ground and drifted on to the south spit. All efforts to get the vessel into the ohannel were unsuccessful. The vessel bumped considerably during the night. After discharging some of the coal the vessel came off, and on arrival in Wellington was placed on the Patent Slip, when some two dozen rivets in forepeak tank were found to be loose, and the cement was found broken in this compartment. New rivets were put in and the cement was renewed, and vessel made thoroughly eeaworthy again. On the 25th July this vessel touched the ground outside of Dog Island, on a voyage to the Bluff. It was found, on surveying the vessel (from the diver's report), that the keel-plate on starboard side was dented up about § in. abreast of the fore rigging, and showed further signs of having touched for a distance of about 3 ft.; but all the rivets in the vicinity seemed quite sound on being tested. The vessel was considered seaworthy. This vessel was on a voyage from London to Dunedin, and when off Asoension Island on the 17th June, and steaming about 7 knots against a head wind with heavy sea, she touched what was thought to be ground, although the depth of water shown on chart at this spot would not lead the master to look for shallows there. The speed of the vessel was not affected, and only one slight bump was felt. The vessel was surveyed in Dunedin, and the following damage was found in No. 4 tank, which is under the boiler-hold— June 21 Waiwera .. Wellington July 11 Gertie Wellington July 19 Tasman ..

Neither floors nor frames were fractured. The cement, where broken, was renewed. About 9.45 p.m. on the 2nd August the veFsel was entering the harbour at Westport. When abreast of MoLean's Wbarf the ourrent caught her on the scarboard bow, slewing her in to the wharf. A dent was made in side of vessel just abaft the collision bulkhead, loosening a number of rivets and bending stringer and a beam of vessel. The loose rivets were renewed at Westport, making vessel seaworthy. The bent stringer and beam were taken out in Wellington and straightened and reriveted. This vessel collided with Dredge 222 at Port Chalmers. The stern of dredge struck the vessel on the starboard bow and dented one plate. The vessel received no material damage, and was found seaworthy. This vessel was formerly running in river limits in Auckland Harbour, but was sold to Wellington owners. To enable her to proceed there a special survey was made to equip her for the trip to Wellington. A survey for seaworthiness was made of this vessel at the request of Collector of Customs, Dunedin, to allow vessel to proceed to Chatham Islands. One plank on port side was renewed about 12 ft. from bow at loadline ; also defects under transom were made good. A fire occurred in the No. 4 hold of the vessel amongst the oargo, whilst vessel was lying alongside the Glasgow Wharf in Wellington, on the 28th September. Upon examination, the cargo having been removed, the damage was found to be oonfined to about 6 square feet, two deck-beams for about 6 ft. in length being slightly buckled, and the decking overbead slightly started, and one beam was found to be cracked. Straps were fitted and riveted to cracked beam. This vessel stranded on the bar at Riverton while on a voyage from Riverton to Glory Harbour on the 19th September. Vessel's hull was damaged. Repairs were effected by fitting temporary patches on hull where damaged. The machinery also reoeived an overhaul. This vessel waa due for survey, but she could not get into the dock owing to its being occupied. A surveyor visited vessel, and made a special survey of her afloat to enable vessel to leave port. This vessel was on a voyage from Wellington to Patea. Whilst entering Patea Harbour on the 1st November the wheel steering-chain became jammed, just when the vessel was between the breakwater and retaining-wall. The vessel, not being under control through the steering-gear being out of order, collided with retaining-wall. The stem of vessel was damaged from the 5 ft. water-mark to the forefoot. The vessel was put on the Patent Slip at Wellington, and the damaged portion of the stem renewed. A portion of the main steam-pipe of this vessel was found defective. It was replaced by a new piece 4 ft. long. The new pipe was tested to 3201b. hydraulic pressure before being placed on board. While this vessel was on a voyage from Wanganui to Wellington she lost all her propellerblades. She left Wanganui at 5.45 p.m., and when about thirty-six miles south at 8.45 p.m. one blade broke off; at 9.20 p.m. on same day another one was lost; and at 9.30 p.m. the other two were lost. She came on as far as Wellington Heads with her own eail, and was then towed into port by the " Huia," and a new set of blades fitted in Wellington. ug. 8 S.s.

Baden Powell Zealandia Wellington Wellington Auckland Wellington Wellington Wellington The vessel grounded whilst entering Napier Harbour on the 23rd November, whilst on a voyage from Gisborne to Napier. The engineroom telegraph connections between the bridge and engine-room carried away, and before the engines could be reversed the vessel's bow ran up on the beach. A diver was employed to examine the hull of vessel, and after tins examination he reported that vessel had sustained no damage. Soundings were also taken of the various tanks, but vessel was found to be making no water. This vessel struck the rocks off Dorset Point on the 21st November, whilst entering Wellington Harbour on a voyage from Onehunga to Wellington. The rolling-chock on the port side was broken and twisted. A number of the rivets in the hull were also started. She was placed on the Patent Slip, when a new rolling-chock was fitted, and the bad rivet renewed. The bracket of H.P. valve-spindle guide broke when off Walker's Island, near Jackson Head, at 12.30 p.m. on the 28th November, whilst on a voyage from Picton to Nelson. The breakdown to the machinery was caused by the cotter in the slide valve-spindle working loose. The bracket was strapped together temporarily to enable vessel to make port. On arrival in Wellington a new bracket was made and flited to replace the broken one. This vessel collided with s.s. " Kapanui " while on a voyage from Auckland to Waiwera. About twenty rivets were started at bowplating through the impact. All defective rivets were taken out and replaced with new ones. This vessel was especially surveyed for an extension of her certificate. Main steam-pipe was found to be defective at one end. The bad portion was cut off, and a new piece fitted. The pipe was annealed and afterwards tested to 240 lb. hydraulic pressure before it was put on board. A new Pope joint was fitted on one end of a portion of the main steam-pipe, and afterwards tested to 360 lb. hydraulic pressure before it was placed on steamer. This vessel went ashore at entrance to Patea Harbour when leaving that port for Wellington. Vessel remained on the beach for some time. After she was refloated she proceeded to Wellington for repair and survey. Some five hundred rivets were found to be loose, principally on starboard side of vessel's bottom plating, and the rudder was also damaged. The rivets were all renewed, and the rudder was removed, stook annealed and straightened, and replaced. This vessel touched the bottom when entering the Bluff Harbour on the morning of the 25th January when tbreast of the old Lightship's moorings. The tanks were sounded at several times during the day, but vessel was found to be making no water. A diver was employed to examine hull of vessel, but he reported that vessel was undamaged. This hulk was surveyed to enable her to make the trip to Wellington from Dunedin. An aocident occurred to the main steam-pipe of this vessel's engines on the voyage from Chatham Islands to Timaru. The pipe cracked right round at the flange on the boiler stop-valve. The defective part of the pipe was cut off, and a new piece of pipe and flange fitted, the whole being tested afterwards to 320 lb. hydraulic pressure before it was placed on board. This vessel struok some hard substance off Cheltenham Beach, in Auckland Harbour, while on a voyage from Warkworth to Auckland, on the 15th February. The vessel was surveyed, when she was found to have sustained no material damage. Jan. 10 Waiwera ..

This vessel, while on a voyage from New Plymouth to Wellington on the 6th March, sustained damage to the propeller-shafting of main engines through the breaking of the bolts at one of the couplings. Temporary repairs were effected on board to enable vessel to reach Nelson, where the neoessary repairs were carried out. Vessel took the ground on a sand-bank in Papeete Harbour on the 3rd March. Hull was thoroughly examined by a surveyor in Auckland, when it was discovered that vessel had sustained no damage. A special survey was made of this vessel's equipments, &c, to enable her to make the voyage from Auckland to Picton. This vessel, while entering Westport Harbour on the 9th instant, whilst on a voyage from Greymouth to Westport, was struck by a squall, causing vessel to collide with the breakwater. On arrival in Wellington she was placed on the Slip for examination. One plate in B strake on starboard bow and a forward keel - plate were found to be cracked.
