SCHOONER STRIKES A LOG
HOLE KNOCKED IN HULL
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.")
AUCKLAND, 30th May.
The auxiliary schooner Isabella de Frame, in charge-of Captain Kennedy, whilst coming up the Hokianga Harbour, struck a submerged log off Karaka 'Point, which knocked a hole in the forward part .of the hull. The pumps were manned, and finding the vessel making water, the captain beached the vessel and plugged the hole up with a sack of flour.
The cargo is considerably damaged and is now being unloaded at Rawene: Wharf, after which the vessel will be beached at Kohukohu for repairs.
It is fortunate the accident happened where it did, as if the schooner had struck outside the bar there would have been a. great risk of total loss.
