“While passing up the Tyne,” remarked Captain 11. 11. Sergeant in his report to the Auckland Harbour Board at its last meeting, “I was much interested in seeing H.M.S. Calliope (as she was then known), which gained such fame by steaming out of Apia Harbour, Samoa, many years ago during a severe hurricane, when several warships of other nationalities were wrecked. It is generally understood that this feat to a large extent was due to the fact that she was using Westport coal at the time. She is now moored well up the Tyne, an d appears to be in an excellent state of preservation.’’
