ACCIDENT TO S.S. ROTOMAHANA.
[per fmss associatiox]. Tub h.B. Rotomahana, when entering the I Bluff harbor yesterday merning, went ashore between the Light Ship and Ocean Chief. The engines had been slowed, and it is thought that a strong current running carried her on to the rocks. At 10.30 a.m. she floated off and came alongside the wharf. A diver went down and examined her bottom, but the water was too thick to make a reliable examination. An examination was made inside which shows three large dents with cement broken. The cement has been cleared away, but there are no signs of a hole anywhere. The vessel is making no water. It was decided to go back to Dunedin and the Rotorua to take her trip.
