A fresh 'northeast wind, combined with considerable swell and a. slight tidal current, gave the vessel a sheer after she crossed the bar and refused to answer her helm. While stranded she was pounded by the seas, but the skill of Captain C. W. Ostenfeld resulted in the vessel getting clear. The vessel was drawing lift, at the bow and lift, at the stern. The damage is not yet fully ascertained, but is believed to be confined chiefly to the forward compartment, whore a starboard plate was split Gin. The leakage into tho forward bilge was easily coped with. The Kalingo left Gisborno early on Thursday morning for Greymouth after having been two days here discharging coal from Newcastle and general cargo from Sydney.
