CARRIED OFF COURSE
AORANGI LEAVING SYDNEY
ASSISTED BY TUGS
SYDNEY, March 1. The Aorangi's sailing was not devoid of incident. Caught by a heavy gust of wind as she was leaving' Darling Harbour, the ship was carried off her course and •■ approached dangerously near ferry boats moored at Blue's Point, on the opposite side of the harbour. Anchors were dropped as the ship' neared the shallow water. These checked her way, and tho .tugs ■ which rushed to the spot were able, with the help of the ship's own engines, to get the Aorangi clear and on her course again to pass under the bridge. The 'excitement lasted twentyrmiiv utes, however, during which time the crew and passengers had plenty to occupy their attention.
