FIRE IN BUNKERS.

However, the -ship's fire-fighting appliances were instrumental in getting the fire under control before port was reached .at 9.30 p.m. The Tairoa berthed at the Pipitea Wharf, and the bunker coal affected by the outbreak was discharged to-day. The vessel will leave Wellington to-morrow afternoon for Nelson.
