A STEAMER IN ROUGH WEATHER.
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT
SYDNEY, July 11
The Opihi encountered the full force of the recent cyclonic storm when bound from New Zealand to Melbourne with timber. The vessel was taken to sea to evade the storm, but a mountainous sea swept her from stem to stern for >two days. When the wind shifted, the sea was striking the vessel from three directions. Eventually she reached Port Kembla, but not till the engineroom and stokehold had been flooded.
