“TAMAHINE’S” ENGINE TROUBLE.

(Per Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, March 23

Owing to the development of further trouble with her auxiliary Diesel engines, the steamer Tamahine is unable to make her usual trip to Picton. Passengers holding tickets made out for the Tamahine may use them to travel on the Arahura which will call at Picton en route from Wellington to Nelson. Repairs to the Tamahine’s engines will be carried out over the week-end, and it is expected that she will sail again for Picton at the usual time on Monday afternoon.
