She experienced very strong north-westerly weather between Gisborne and the East Cape. After beating about there for 12 days, the throat bolt of the mizzen gaff broke, and the foresail was badly damaged. Captain T, Stephens, the master, had his right hand injured. Owing to the damage to the vessel and the adverse weather conditions, he decided to put back to Gisborne. On February 0 the Huanui was picked up and taken in tow by the steamer Tiroa, which was en route from Auckland to Gisborne. At 2 p.m. the following day the two vessels reached Gisborne, where the damage to the Huanui was reported and another foresail bent. On February 12 the vessel resumed her voyage. Crossing the Bay of Plenty the wind blew hard from the westward, and on February 21, when off Caviar Island, the vessel was compelled to shelter from the weather in Opito Bay. On Sunday the weather moderated sufficiently to allow the vessel to again resume her voyage. Owing to the damage to the vessel and the lose of time in putting back to Gisborne, a general average of 7J per cent, has been declared on the original cargo. TRAGEDY ON STEAMER. STEEL CABLE LOOSE.

The winch’s first lunge cut the electric and in the darkness the seamen had to leap blindly to grip tho deck beams overhead, where they hung on for their lives. .Before the deck watch could came to the rescue a storekeeper and a coal trimmer, both veteran* of the war, hod been killed ■by the lashing cable. Ultimately bolts from the iron bulkhead had to be cut out to release the imprisoned water and to secure th* drum. Almost every bone of the dead.
