NAUTICAL INQUIRY.
[Per Press Association.] AUCKLAND, April 11. The nautical inquiry into the collision betwen the steamer Wairuna and the j scow Moonah Tvas resumed to-day. : Joseph De Silva, master of the. sailing vessel, stated that his side lights were burning, six or seven feet above the deck. When he saw the steamer approaching he kept his course, intending to. pass red to red. When the steamei was two minutes off he put his helm, down to let the ketch come into the wind. Then the steamer blew one whistle, which he understood meant " going to starboard " — just what the Moonah was doing. ■ When the collision occurred the Wairuna must have been going six or seven knots an hour. His" lights were in the mizzen rigging, and were burning brightly ju6t before the collision. j
