MISSED WRECK IN STORM
VESSEL TOSSED IN SEAS. ENGINE-ROOM FLOODED. WIRELESS BREAKS DOWN. The Katoa missed the wreck in- the storm, bat the Arahura, with 100 passengers aboard, stood by the wreck tossed ini'huge seas; a quarter of a mile off the bleak, coast where the Wiltshire is ashore wrecked. The wireless broke down through the flooding of the engine-room, and the masts carrying away. The Arahura read semaphore flags and transmitted messages by wireless. The Katoa landed five men who went overland five miles to the wreck with ropes, hurricane lamps, bandages, food, and rockets.
