The steamer Kahu. which nearly met with a disastrous end while on a voyage from. Wellington to the Chatham Islands, and was beached at "Whangaroa, arrived from the Chathains at 6.40 a.m. yesterday and berthed at the Glasgow wharf. A reporter was informed. when the vessel arrived yesterday, that very little damage resulted, and' that she, at no time of the trip to the Chathams, sprang a leak, as was previously reported. When 70 miles off tho Chathams at 2 p.m. on Thursday, October 23rd, in a very heavy south-west galo, the Kahu shipped a tremendous nea, which shifted. the surf boat out o; pusi tion, and the'boat chocks jammed tho wheel chains. That caused tho ves o ei to broach to. and the result was that several succeeding big seas broke over her and filled trb the after-deck ami smothered the fires. The water simply t poured through the skylights into the saloon. The weight of the water in the enginoroom knocked the bottom out of tho coal bunkers, and the coal shifted into the bilges and caused trouble by blocking the ship's pumps. It was then necessary to bail the water out, and after a few hours' work tho fires were cot going and Whangaroa was reached. On arrival there it was found that the steamer's coal supply was practically exhausted, as her entire deck load was washed, overboard, while all tie coal in tho bunkers was shaken into the bilges. As Whangaroa was the safest port, having a sandy beach, the Kahu was beached there in order to ascertain if the hull was all right. As it was then found that she was perfectly seaworthy, tho cargo in the forward hold was discharged in order to permit the reserve stock of coal to be used. Afterwards the Kahu continued the voyage to VVaitangi and Owenga, cargo being disobarged at both ports.. She returned to Waitangi for passengers and mails and then wont to Whangaroa for a cargo of fish. The last-named port was left at 2.30 a.m. on Thursday last, and after a fair trip the Kahu arrived yesterday, as stated above. The only damage done was caused through the water fjndinj its way into the interior of the ship. THE KIjToEA ARRIVED. Tho Shaw, Savill and Albion liner Kia Ora arrived in the stream at Wellington oarlv on Saturday from London via Havre, Newport News. Pupeetc, Suva and Noumea.
