WAIHEMO’S MISHAP.
FINDING OF COURT. SUVA, April 6. A Marine Court investigated the stranding of the Waibemo. It found that the master had committed an error of judgment not amounting to negligence and not requiring the censure of the Court. The master was ordered to pay the cost of the inquiry, £8 Bs.
The Wailiemo from Newcastle went ashore in Navula passage, Fiji, last Sunday, when approaching Lautoka, where she was hound to load raw sugar for Vancouver. She was refloated a few days later. Built in 1919, the Waihemo has a gross tonnage of 5627, and is engaged in the Union Company’s cargo service from Pacific Coast ports to New Zealand and Australia.
