RAN INTO GALE

DISABLED MISSION STEAMER ARRIVAL DELAYED The mission steamer Southern Cross, now limping to Auckland from Norfolk Island with a jury rudder rigged, replacing her broken rudder trunk, has encountered an easterly gale, and her arrival here is not expected until Wednesday morning, according to cable advice received by the Melanesian Mission this morning. When the ship quitted Norfolk Island at sunset on Friday she was making seven knots in fine weather, the makeshift rudder acting satisfactorily. She was then expected to arrive to-morrow morning, but the unexpected gale has delayed her fully 24 hours. The vessel will be repaired here and will return to Norfolk Island for the missionaries who were landed there. She will continue her cruise of the mission stations in the Solomon Islands and the New Hebrides. Bishop F. M. Molyneux, Bishop of Melanesia, is returning by the vessel to Auckland. - ’ST
