Kamona’s Crew Had To Shelter In Engine Room.
INVERCARGILL, November 29. The steamer Kamona, which reached Bluff from Westport on Sunday, experienced a severe buffeting in the vicinity of Puysegur Point. One of the ship's boats was washed from the chocks on the top deck and smashed against the water tank. The provision safe was washed overboard and thrown back on deck. The steering wheel was badly damaged, and the crew's quarters became untenable. They had to shelter in the engine* room. It was considered too dangerous to turn the vessel and run for shelter, and she had to be hove-to until the weather moderated.
