A STORMY EXPERIENCE. The Canadian Government steamer Canadian Seigneur, which arrived at Auckland from Halifax yesterday morning, visited Auckland about 11 months ago. During the interval the vessel had a most trying experience in the Atlantic, where she ; was rudderless and at the mercy of the wind and sea for 25 days. The vessel sailed from Liverpool for Montreal on October 26 loaded with 4000 tons of coal and 1000 tons of pig iron. Six days out from port the steamer encountered heavy weather, when she was almost engulfed by the heavy seas which broke on board. One- sea struck the vessel and carried away the rudder and stern post. S.O.S. signals were sent out, and eight days later the steamer Meiglo hove in sight. During the interval two jury rudders had been made, but both proved useless. The Meigle was made fast astern of the Canadian Seigneur, but had her bits carried away trying to steer the Canadian Seigneur in the stormy sea. The Meigle stood by waiting for the storm to abate. . On November 16 the Canadian Sapper arrived on the scene. A boat was launched from the Soirfneur to transfer stores from the Sapper. The boat capsized in the heavy sea, with the result that . the . third officer and tie four sailors were thrown. into the water. They were, however* picked up safely. After considerable difficulty and after a number of hawsers had broken, the Sapper ws mode fast astern of; the Seigneur to aid the rudderless vessel to steer. Time and again the tow lines parted, but the Sapper stuck to her work, and the Seigneur reached St. John's. Newfoundland, on November 24. Repairs to the Seigneur kept her ten weeks in port before she was ready for sea. During the ten weeks in port she met with a further mishap. On January 12 her bunker coal caught fire, and smouldered lor 18 days. .All the coal TO eventually discharged before the outbreak was properly subdued. On her present voyage another outbreak of fire occurred in the vessel's bunkers 24 hours before reaching "Panama. In this case, also, the coal was lifted out of the bunker to effectively extinguish the fire.

THE CANADIAN SEIGNEUR. The Canadian Government steamer Canadian Seigneur' arrived from Halifax direct yesterday morning and berthed at the h,ing s Wharf to discharge about 1000 tons of motorcars, galvanised iron, pipes, and general merchandise for New Zealand. The vessel sailed from Halifax on March 2. and on M&rch 11 a fire broke out in the vessel s starboard bunker. The fire was kept under by the vessel's fire appliances until the steamer arrived at Colon the following day. At Colon gangs of men discharged the coal from the bunker and stacked it on deck, water being freely pumped into the coal as it was discharged from the bunker. By being stacked on deok a further outbreak was prevented, and the coal was later shifted to the stokehold, as it was needed for fuel in the Pacific. No damage was done. The Seigneur cleared Panama on March 13 and axperienced fine weather until Good Friday, when stormy weather was encountered. For 12 days the vessel steamed against a succession of westerly gales accompanied by a rough sea. The decks were repeatedly flooded, and the vessel's speed was retarded considerably. On Tuesday the weather began to moderate, and better speed was made to port. The Canadian Seigneur is the first steamor of the Canadian Line to come direct to Auckland. After landing all her New Zealand cargo at Auckland the vessel is timed to sail this evening for Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide to 'comI plete discharge The vessel will afterwards return to New Zealand to load for New York, Boston, and Halifax.
