The trawler South Sea (ex Ferrlby), en route from Great Britain to Lyttelton, was Involved In a collision off Melenara Point, according to a cable message from Las Palmas published in an English paper on August 11.

She was proceeding to New Zealand via Las Palmas and Durban. The vessel with which she collided was the British steamer Stonepool, of 4803 tons gross. The South Sea is of 324 tons gross. Both vessels sustained damage In the collision. The crew of the South Sea were taken off by the Stonepool, but were later returned aboard. Both vessels made port. The Stonepool was badly damaged in No. 6 hold on the port side, and had to be berthed In the inner harbour (the cable message does not state where) to prevent sinking. The South Sea’s stem was badly twisted, and was broken. The forepeak was full of water. Her bow plating was holed, and damage was done to the forecastle and forecastle he’ad. Other damage was done. The surveyors recommended that the trawler should be placed on a slip for examination with a view to permanent repairs being done. The South Sea had to wait some time for the use of the slip, but repairs were effected, and she was expected to leave Las Palmas last month for Lyttelton, where she Is due early in November.
