KETCH RUNS ASHORE
NO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE CAUSED By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The small wooden ketch Kiatea was stranded on a reef off Brown Island in the Hauraki Gulf last night when en route from Coromandel to Auckland with a cargo of shingle. A representative of the owners visited the vessel this afternoon and repotted that she was not extensively damaged. The cargo was being jettisoned and the Harbour Board fire-float had been engaged to pump out the water, and it was hoped tow her to Auckland to-night. The Kiatea, which is a vessel of twenty tons, and is carrying a crew of three, has had an unlucky career, being, badly aged in November, 1924, through an explosion of benzine.
