The vessel was off Terawhiti station at the time, and a large fire was also observed on the beach. The > ship's wireless operator and two officers read the word two or three times. The vessel was promptly turned round, and, standing in close at the back of Karori Rock, a veply was sent by Morse. The people, on the beacli, who are believed to have been campers, immediately put the fire out and made nj> reply to the signal.
