INQUIRY.
[BT TELEGRAPH.] Wellington, Monday.
A Magisterial inquiry was held to-day into the circumstances connected with the striking of the Kotnku, between Jackson’s Head and Walker rook. Captain Kennedy stated that he had often taken the passage before, The tides in the neighborhood were erratic, and after his recent experience _ he would not recommend boats steaming less than ten knots to attempt the pass. In this instance the Kotukn was carried bodily by the tide on to a rook, where she remained three and a half hours. The Court will give a decision on Thursday.
