POSITION NOT SERIOUS. The Secretary of the General Post Office (Mr. G. McNamara) received the following radio message yesterday: “Signals intercepted at 11.30 p.m.', 7th, indicate steamer Kinross ashore on Cato Island Reef; making no water, endeavouring to get off at daylight; weather fine.” Cato Island is a small island off the coast of Queensland, about 280 miles due east of Rockhampton. The Kinross was built in 1918 for the Sutherland S.S. Co., by Sir R. Dixon and Co., at their Middlesbrough yards. Slip is a cargo steamer of 5234 tons, and is engaged in the carriage of phosphates from Nauru Island. On her last visit to Wellington she arrived here on August 4, under Captain H.
