Some years ago, while-the: vessel was en route from Southampton to Wellington, the Remuera collided -with the Ellerman-'Wil-son liner Margeno off Portland Bill in a thick fog, but she' reached Portland safely. At the time she had Mr “Pussyfoot” Johnson as a passenger in addition to 446 immigrants arid 117 saloon passengers. '
