(Received August 19, 9.30 p.m.) , Sydney, August 19.
More excitement was provided to-day for the crew and passengers aboard the motor-ship Salamaua, when during the tow from Newcastle down the coast, the Mako again broke away, and at about the same time the Salamaua’s engines gave trouble. Both vessels were seen from the shore apparently drifting helplessly off Terrigal. A wireless message to Newcastle brought the powerful tug Saint Hilary to the scene. The tug took the Mako in tow at 2 p.m., and the Salamaua soon got going again. The three vessels are now due at Sydney to-night.
