PULVERISED COAL
lIORAR,ATA’S ARRIVAL. (Per Press Association.) (WELLINGTON, February 10. The New Zealand Shipping Company’s Horarata, burning pulverised coal, arrived here late last night from London.
She crossed the Atlantic in a tropical storm, and on the morning of January 3, she picked up an “5.0.5.” from the Italian tramp, “Kobe,” stating that her steering gear had been carried away. The disabled steamer was about 125 miles away. Full speed was ordered, and with the assistance of her wireless detector-finder, the Hororata reached the Kobe at 7 p.m. the same day. When still 12 miles away,, however, a message was received from the Kobe that they had repaired the steering gear themselves. By that time the Hororata was well off her course, and she made for Norfolk, Virginia, where she coaled.
