INSPECTION OF MACHINERY: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR 1906-7.

Presented to both Houses af the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency

The Hon. the Minister in Charge of the Inspection of Machinery Department to His Excellency the Governor. My Lord,— Inspection of Machinery Department, Wellington, Ist Jane, 1907. I do myself the honour to transmit herewith, for Your Excellency's information, the report of the Inspection of Machinery Department of the colony for the financial year ended the 31st March, test- I have, &c, J. A. Millar, His Excellency the Minister in Charge of the Inspection of Right Hon. Lord Plunket, X.C.V.0., Machinery Department. Governor of New Zealand.

The Chief Inspector of Machinery to the Hon. the Minister in Charge of the Inspection of Machinery Department. Inspection of Machinery Department, Customhouse Buildings Wellington Sir,— Ist May, 1907. ' I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report on the operations of the Inspection of Machinery Department during the twelve months which ended on the 31st March, 1907. During the past year satisfactory progress has been made by the Department in all the branches of its work, and although at the end of the year there were still a number of boilers, machinery, and steamers overdue for inspection, yet I am glad to state that during the past year there has been more work accomplished by the Department than during any previous year. The work to be done in some of the country districts is often accomplished under very trying experiences, for the boilers and machinery now being erected in bush settlements are most difficult of access. The Inspectors have as far as possible tried to make their inspections at times suitable to the owners ; it has, however, been found impossible to do so in all cases without going twice over the same district. A convenient time to suit every industry and owner could not be arranged, as it would require a very large increase in the Department's staff to do so. New sawmilling industries are springing up along the extensions of the North Island Main Trunk Railway, and dairying and flax industries are being developed over all parts of New Zealand, more especially in the Auckland Provincial District, The gold-dredging industry is still being prosecuted with vigour in < Itago and Southland, and in some parts of Westland, and a large amount of machinery is employed on these dredges. During the year I have been able to visit the principal inspection districts and the district offices of this Department. The engineering trade generally has been depressed during the past year, and very little new workhas been carried out. A noticeable feature of the past year has been the great strides made by gas and oil engines as a motive power. The suction gas-producer has beet) installed at several factories in the colony during the year, with marked success. As there ar.e several designs on the market, this proves that these engines have now passed their experimental stages. By the use of these engines a great economy in power-production has been obtained. Their great advantages are that there are few mechanical parts to get out of order, and they requirejbut littlejattention. The cost of repairs and renewals is small, being principally in connection with the part exposed to continuous heat, such as the firebars and brick linings.

Boilers inspected. During the year 5,379 inspections have been made and certificates issued for them. Nearly every district has been visited, and, with the exception of the Marlborough and some parts of the Auckland Districts, our boiler-inspection work is practically complete to date. The machinery in motion at all works visited has all been duly inspected at such annual visits. There are some splendid installations of machinery now in New Zealand. Government Boilers and Machinery. The boilers at most of the Government institutions have been examined, as wejl as the other machinery appliances installed, and include four lifts, nine Pelton"and/>ther water-wheels, one gas-engine, two oil-engines. A considerable amount of time was occupied in performing these inspections, for which no fees were charged. Certificates were issued for all of these inspections. Return No. I gives full particulars of boilers and classes of machinery, together with the fees for these inspections. Defects in Boilers and Fittings. A long list of defects in boilers and fittings are set out in Return No. 2. A great many of these were considered very dangerous, and show clearly the need of rigid inspections by skilled and experienced men. Even in the short space of a year, between the annual inspection-visits, dangerous defects develop in most unexpected places in steam-boilers. The total number of defects discovered in boilers and fittings is 1,883. Seventy-four of these were dangerous. 2 sets out these defects in detail. New Boilers. The number of new boilers added to our books during the year total 388. The horse-power of these amounts to 4,971 : 223 of these, totalling 3,094-horse power, were made in the colony, and 165, totalling 1,877-horse power, were imported. The following table shows the number and horse-power of these boilers, and the districts to which they have gone : —

Gas- and Water-driven Machinery, Lifts, and Machinery Inspections. The total inspections made of this class of machinery amount to 3,397, and are made up as follows: Gas-engines, 861; oil-engines, 573; motors and hoists, 1,200; machinery inspections, 763. Fencing of Machinery. Return No. 4 gives full particulars of what has been done in the direction of guarding dangerous parts of machinery Examination of Engine-drivers. This branch of the work of the Department is an ever-increasing one. These examinations are now held all over the country, to §uit candidates, at suitable places outside the centres named in the regulations. These places are chosen as being central for that of the district in which the examination is held. This year 1,065 candidates came up for examination, and of this number 777 candidates sucessfully passed these examinations, and 288 failed to pass,

The examinations held were for extra first-class engineer, first-class engine-drivers, second-class engine-drivers, winding-engine drivers, traction and locomotive engine drivers. A detailed list of the candidates who passed these examinations, together with the grades and classes of examination, is shown in Returns Nos. 7 to 13, inclusive. The various examinations were held at the following places: namely, Alexandra South,* Auckland,* Blenheim, Bluff, Christchurch,* Cromwell, Dannevirke,* Dunedin,* Fairburn's, Feilding,* Foxton.* Gisborne,* Greymoutb,* Havelock,* Hokitika, Invercargill,* Levin, Mangonui, Masterton,* Napier,* Nelson,* Nevis, New Plymouth, Opononi, Palmerston North, Picton, Reefton, Rotorua, Roxburgh, Seddon, Shannon, Timaru,* Waitapu, Wanganui,* Wellington,* Westport.* During the year there were thirteen meetings held by the Board of Examiners in Wellington, under the Inspection of Machinery Act, to issue certificates to engine-drivers, and to dealjVith the issue of reciprocal certificates from other colonies, as well as other matters. Accidents. It is with regret that I have to report a serious accident that occurred on the sth April, 1906, to a boiler of the locomotive type belonging to Messrs. Wilson and Co., sawmillers, Kumara Junction, which caused the death of James Bull, John Charles Le Compte, and George Wilson, and injury to Joseph Batey. The boiler was of the ordinary portable locomotive type, and was made throughout of iron. It was about 12 ft. long over all. The barrel was 7 ft. 9 in. long, approximately, and 3 ft. 5 in. in diameter, and was made up of two rings lapped and single-riveted, the thickness of plating being f in. The firebox was 34 in. wide, 46 in. long, and 42 in. high. Its sides and ends were stayed with screwed and riveted stays § in. diameter of thread, pitched at front plate 5 in. by 4£ in., two sides 5 J in. by 5 \ in. Its crown was supported by four girders 5-| in. apart, and having seven bolts in each girder. There were forty-one iron tubes, each in. in diameter, expanded into tube-plates at either end, and three longitudinal stays, \\ in. in diameter at bottom of thread, in the steam-space above the tubes. The outer shell of firebox was fin. thick. The inner firebox-plating was fin., and the crown-plate was \ in. thick, and the tube-plates \ in. All the seams of the boiler were single-riveted, the rivets being spaced about 2 in. apart. There were eight mud-hole openings, 3J in. by 3 in., at bottom of the firebox, and manhole-opening in the cylindrical portion of the boiler, 10 J in. diameter. The mountings consisted of one safety-valve, 2f in. diameter, loaded by lever and spring balance ; one safety-valve, 2| in. diameter, loaded by direct spring ; one steam-pressure gauge ; one glass water-gauge and cocks complete ; two test-cocks ; one regulator-valve ; one blow-off cock ; one pump and check-valve ; one injector and check-valve (injector of Pemberthy pattern). The boiler was made by Messrs. Marshall and Sons, of Gainsborough, in England, and was twenty-six years old. It had during that time been inspected on eighteen different occasions. Nature of explosion : The outer shell of firebox ruptured at foundation ring, which was of the Z-iron construction, tearing the plate away at the line of rivets the whole width of plate, forcing the plate backwards the whole height of the right-hand side of box, and also the whole of the crown portion as far as the top row of stays on the left-hand side of the box. The shell plating of barrel-end and firebox-plating was rent asunder, and the barrel was hurled about 40 ft., at about an angle of 15°. The firebox took a direction at right angles, and landed about 60 ft. away. A portion of the roofing over the boiler was demolished and the engine was wrecked, the fly-wheel broken in pieces, the crank-shaft broken in two pieces, and the various parts of the engine scattered in all directions. The engine was bolted to the top of boiler-shell plating, and was of the high-pressure type, with two cylinders. The crank-shaft, with its brackets, was placed immediately over outer crown of firebox. The cause of the explosion was due to the failure of about twelve stays in the right-hand side of firebox. These firebox-stays were screwed into inside and outside plating and had their ends riveted over. The twelve stays that were broken were situated near the top edge of plating. These twelve stays carrying away caused the plate to bulge, which threw a greater strain on the remaining stays on the same side. This bulging would tend also to set up a shearing strain on the remaining stays, as it would shorten the plate. The remaining stays were unable to withstand it, and the foundation ring, after all the stays had been broken, carried away in line of rivets. The scantlings of the boiler generally showed very little wear-and-tear. The plating was remarkably well preserved and the boiler appeared to have been exceedingly well cared for, and all the inner surfaces were clean and free from incrustation. This boiler was inspected first on the 4th August, 1883, and was at that time owned by by the Anchor Foundry Company at Port Nelson, and was in their possession and used until 1886. In 1888 it was owned by Mr. Otto Petersen, of Greymouth, and used in a sawmill there until 1892. Messrs. Wilson and Co. became owners of it in 1896. The boiler since it was first used in 1883 has, with the exception of six years, worked continuously and has never been reported in bad order. It was last inspected by our Inspector on the 24th October, 1905, and reported by him to be in fair order. In a conversation I had with Mr. Wilson, one of the present owners, and who was present when the Inspector made his inspection, he assured me that the Inspector made a thorough examination of the boiler, and was most careful in every particular. I had a chat with the engine-driver on the 12th April. He was unable to throw any light on the explosion, but he said that there was neither overpressure nor shortness of water. The owners were most courteous and helpful to me in my investigations, and answered any questions I put to them at once. I had the steam-pressure gauge tested for correctness at the railway workshops at Greymouth, and found that it registered 82 lb. when 70 lb. was on the boiler. The loss of life is to be deplored, but had the mill not been stopped at the time of the explosion a greater loss of life would have probably taken place. Several of the employees had left the mill just

a few minutes before the accident occurred. The stoppage took place in oftier to sharpen up the saws in the mill. The inquest before the Coroner, who is also the Magistrate in the district, took place at Kumara on the 13th April, and I gave evidence at the inquest. The hearing of the evidence took the whole of the day, and the verdict was not given until late in the evening. The verdict was that no blame was attachable to any one, and there was also a recommendation that an Inspector of Machinery should be placed at Hokitika or Greymouth. There were several other accidents with machinery, some of which proved fatal. Full particulars of these are given in Returns Nos. 5 and 6. Postal and Police Departments. The officers of both these Departments very materially assisted this Department. The former collected all the fees for boiler-inspection, and the latter not only looked up defaulters, but assisted in the various prosecutions for breaches of the Act, of which there were several during the year. Marine Engineers' Examinations. These examinations for certificates of competency have been held at the following places : viz., Auckland,* Napier,* Wanganui,* Wellington,* Nelson,* Christchurch,* Timaru,* Dunedin,* Invercavgill,* Gisborne, Foxton, Greymouth, Reefton, Westport, and Russell. The total number of applicants who applied to be examined amounted to 224. Of this number, 183 passed these examinations successfully, and forty-one failed. Of those who failed, there were three tirst-class marine engineers, three second-class marine engineers, fourteen third-class marine engineers, fourteen river engineers, three marine-engine drivers, and four engineers of auxiliary-powered vessels. A new book of regulations for the examination of marine engineers is in course of preparation, and will be issued shortly. This edition will contain all the new matter contained in the last new Book of Regulations for Engineers, issued by the Board of Trade in Great Britain in 1906. Return No. 14 gives the names of the successful candidates and the various grades for which they passed, the total number of applicants, total fees payable, and the number of candidates who failed to pass such examinations. Explosives. During the year 239 written permits were issued by this Department in Wellington for the carriage of explosives on steamers. Annual Surveys of Steamships and Auxiliary-powered Vessels. The annual survey of steamers and other vessels has been well kept up during the year, and all this branch of our work is fairly well up to date. The repairs carried out and followed up to completion at these surveys has entailed a great deal of supervision by the Surveyors of Ships of this Department. The details of inspection are added to every year by the Board of Trade, in new circulars issued for the guidance of Surveyors. This year definite instructions were issued to all Surveyors on the testing of auxiliary piping in steamers. In past years attention has been especially given to main steam-pipes in engine-room of steam vessels, but these instructions now apply to all auxiliary steam-pipes. The examination of stern shafts is strictly attended to, and in my recent visits to Surveyors all over New Zealand I have particularly impressed upon them to exercise due care in their surveys of ships in all parts. The ships are getting of bigger tonnage every successive year, and in consequence surveys take a much longer time for each vessel than in former years. From time to time surprise visits have been made to have a look at equipments and vessels generally, but very little out of order has been discovered to complain of. Special requests were made by shipowners for increased passenger-accommodation to cope with the demand for berths by visitors desirous of visiting the Exhibition at Christchurch. A number of steamers had extra accomodation fitted, and several daylight trips were made. The whole of the fittings, ventilation, lighting, &c, of the new passenger quarters, and the equipments, were supervised by the officers of this Department at all hours to assist shipowners. All these steamers carried their extra passengers withoutjnishap. The total number of surveys of steamers and auxiliary-powered vessels was 331. Return No. 15 gives the total number of steamers and oil-engined vessels surveyed by the Surveyors of this Department during the year, and also gives their names, registered tonnage, nominal horse-power, indicated horse-power, and the brake horse-power of oil-engined vessels; also the nature of their machinery and propeller. The fees received for these surveys amount to £1,849 l()s. Surveys of Vessels for Seaworthiness. A large increase to the number of these surveys was made this year, there being no fewer than fifty-seven. Some of the vessels affected received extensive damage, which necessitated considerable repairs. Some of the defects were attributable to fire in holds ; defects to machinery, including main steam-pipes ; fracture of propeller, shafts ; damage from heavy weather; loss of rudder through stranding ; collapse of furnaces ; and collision, &c. Return No. 17 gives full particulars of each case in detail.

The following Government steamers have been surveyed during the year : namely, " Amokura," " Antrim," " Ben Lomond,"* " Ellen Ballance," " Hinemoa," " Janie *Seddon," " Lady Roberts," " Manurere,"f " Mountaineer,"* " Tutanekai," " Tawera "J ; total, 11. The Defence steamers " Janie Seddon " and " Lady Roberts " both received considerable overhauls at their surveys during the year. The s.s. " Tutanekai" had repairs made to both main and donkey boilers at this survey. The s.s. " Amokura," which vessel has now been converted into a training-ship for the colony, had a most complete overhaul. All parts of her machinery, boilers, hull, and fittings received a thorough inspection. All the main and auxiliary steam-pipes were tested by hydraulic pressure, and were repaired where required. This vessel's principal dimensions are : Length, 165 ft. ; breadth, 31 ft; depth, 20 ft. 4 in. She was built in 1889 by Messrs. Scott and Co., shipbuilders and engineers, Greenock, and is of 800 - 5 tons displacement. Her machinery is of the tripleexpansion type, with cylinders of 20 in., 30 in., 45 in. diameter, and a stroke of 2 ft. There are two main boilers, carrying a pressure of 145 lb. The indicated horse-power with natural draught is 720, and with forced draught 1,200. The vessel is of the composite construction. Additional Steamers and Vessels surveyed for the First Time. The following additions to steam-vessels and to vessels fitted with auxiliary power have been made during the year. These vessels have all been surveyed for the first time this year, and are thirty-six in number. The names of these steamers and vessels are : " Amokura," " Antelope,"§ " Arahura," "Ariel,"§ " Atoni," "Atua," "Bonnie Jean,"§ " Bravo,"§ " Britannia,"§ " Cobar," "Colleen,"§ "Dredge No. 350," " Endeavour,"§ " Perro,"§ " Gannet,"§ "Heather Bell,"§ "Kaituna,"§ " Karitane," " Kereru,"§ "Koi," "Loyalty," " Maheno," "Ngatiawa," " Rakiura,"§ " Rosetta,"§ " Rothesay," " Ruahine,"§ " Ruruhau,"§ " Swan," " Tahawai,"§ " Tere,"§ " Tuhara,"§ " Te Waipounamu,"§ " Wootton," " Never Despair."

Mowbray; 20 years 17th May, 1906 : arm cut Mowbray, while engaged at a saw, allowed his arm to come into contact with saw, which caused the injury to it. Swanson was engaged at a wood-shaping machine, when he allowed his right hand to get in amongst the cutters of the machine. Tuffin, while sawing a piece of timber, did not put it straight into the saw, and, the timber rebounding, struck him in the abdomen. While Zajonskowski was engaged planing a short piece of wood at the planing-machine the wood flew back, causing the injury to his finger. When Bennett went up on a platform to oil the engine, he placed his foot on the crank - shaft bracket, and when the crank came round it crushed his foot, causing the injury to it. Hodge was lowering the cover of the fan, and allowed his fingers to get between the flanges of the casing of the fan, crushing three of them. Telfour attempted to move the lever which controls the starching - machine by putting her hand through the spokes of a worm-wheel, which was revolving very slowly. She got her hand jambed between the spokes and guard of pinion-wheel. Slack attempted to take some dough out of the mixer with his hand while the machine was in motion. He had been expressly forbidden to interfere with the machine in any Otago Brush Company, St. Andrew Street, Dunedin Wood - shaping machine Fredk.

Boys permitted his hand to come into contact with the saw while it was in motion. While Clark was feeding the planing-machine ho inadvertently allowed his hand to get on the knives of the machine. Beken attempted to get hold of the tray-conveyor while the machine was in motion, when his arm was caught by machine arat bruised. The piece of wood Maxwell was planing slipped, when his fingers came into contact with the knives of the machine. While engaged putting a belt on a small pulley he attempted to crawl under the shaft. While he was thus engaged his clothing was caught at the back and torn into shreds, causing injury to his abdomen. Murtagh, while attending to machine, allowed his fingers to come into contact with the knives. While sanding a splash-board Irwin evidently kept all weight and pressure on one corner of the wood. This caused the springing of the disc from the guard, and made a space large enough for his fingore to enter machine, which caused the injury to his hand. S. S.

Cumberland Street, Dunedin B, Bosworth; 17 years i Kith November, 1906 : hurt his head While fixing counter-shaft of lathe overhead, Bosworth got too close to the belt of a neighbouring lathe. The belt being in motion, and his head coming into contact with it just at the fastenings, caused the injury to his head. Wise, while planing a piece of timber, inadvertently allowed his hand to come into contact with the knives of the machine, which caused the injury to his fingers. ' Winter was trying to start the engine with only very little steam on. He was pulling the fly-wheel round when he raised his foot and placed it on frame of the engine close to the crank-pit. The crank of the engine came round and caught him on the foot, causing the injury. While working at the lathe Smythe allowed his finger to be caught in the belt that drives the lathe. : The injury was caused through the explosion of the steamjacketed pan. The ex-haust-valve was not sufficiently open, which allowed pressure to accumulate in jackoted part of vessel. Wilde inadvertently put his hand into the printingmachine while it was in motion. While working at the drillingmachine, the sleeve of Harper's coat caught in the twist-drill while the machine was in motion. Horgan was employed at the saw-bench, when he allowed his hand to come into contact with the saw, which resulted in the loss of his fingers. j Vincent had just fitted a new bearing-brass to the port-able-engine shaft. After the engine had been running some time, he put up his arm to feel if the new bearing was heating. A projecting portion of the shaft caught the sleeve of the guernsey ho was wearing, and drew him on to the shaft. Kingsford's hand slipped while he was manipulating a piece of wood at the machine, and, his hand coming into contact with the knives of the machine, he got it badly cut. The hauling - gear by which this accident was caused was used for lowering clay down an incline in trucks. The brake-lever controlling the gear was attached to an upright post 6 in. by 6 in. This post went through the floor of the building, and was secured to joist. Pender, when lowering a loaded truck, presumably allowed the rope to get slack, and the truck thus gairing an extra impetus, and suddenly jerking the rope, caused the post to which the brake-lever was attached to lift. The lover struck Pender, and caused the injuries to his chest and hand. W.

Several of the small water-space stays had fractured. These stays supported the inner and outer plating of the firebox of the boiler. Through these stays breaking a greater strain was thrown on the remaining stays, which caused them to carry away. The plate, being now unsupported, bulged some 4 in. This bulging shortened the plate, and threw a severe strain on the rivets at the bottom of firebox. This strain caused the plate to fracture there and the boiler to explode.

S c h o field ; 38 years 9tb; May, 1906: large wound at the [junction of right arm and shoulder ; arm broken in several places. >■'. Haemorrhage and shock, cause nf death The belt that drives the amal-gamating-pans slipped on the stationary pulley, and wound round the shaft. Schofleld attempted to release the belt, and while standing on a ladder he got his arm entangled in it. His whole body was drawn round the shaft, causing severe injury to his arms and shoulder. He should not have attempted to do what he did until the machinery was stopped. The accident occurred on the elevator-ladder of the golddredge. Cummings and one of the other dredge hands were engaged in repairing the hand-rail on elevator while the machinery was in motion. A f in. set-screw that secures a collar on the shaft at about the fifth bearing caught the coat Cummings was wearing. He was immediately drawn into the machinery, and his right arm was torn out at the shoulder, and causing other severe injuries to him which resulted in his death. The hauling-gear was used for lowering clay down an incline in trucks. The brakelever controlling the gear was attached to an upright post. This post had been started from its position earlier in the day, and repairs had been effected to it. Baldwin, who was working the gear, presumably allowed the rope to get slack, and the truck running down the incline gained a great impetus. When the rope tightened an enormous undue strain was put upon it, jerking it violently. This extra strain caused the post to which the brake-lover was attached to be torn from its position. The brake - lever caught Baldero, and threw him over the brake-wheel and caused his death. Tne stop-valve leading from the 6 in. steam-pipe to the 4 in. steam-pipe was opened too abruptly. These pipes would contain a considerable quantity of condensed water during the night. The sudden opening of this stop-valve set up a waterhammer action in the pipes. The concussion that followed fractured the stopvalve chest. The fracture showed a clean break, and Skellern was badly scalded by the escaping steam, causing his death. The belt slipped off the drivingpulley on to the engine - crank shaft into a space about 3 in. wide, between the pulley and the engine flywheel. It then came off the pump-pulley at the other end, and began to wind up on the engine-shaft. Cremer, who was near, tried to pull the belt off the shaft with a piece of wood, when ho was caught by the ,, belt and whirled round. His head came into contact with the floor of the engine-house as he was carried round. He received severe injuries, which caused his death, •afalgar Gold-dredging Company, Nelson Creek Gold-dredge John Cowan C u minings ; 33 years 30th October, 1906: right arm torn out of shoulder-socket, left arm broken, and other injuries kelson Brick and Pottery Company, Nelson Band-brake haul-ing-gear Alex.

Claymore ., Perthshire ,, Mararoa Wellington Auckland Napier Wellington A fire occurred in this vessel's No. 2 hold, while she was lying at the Glasgow Wharf, Wellington. After the fire was extinguished a special survey of the vessel was made, when she was found to have sustained no material damage affecting her seaworthiness. This vessel struck on Ti Point when on a voyage from Big Omaha to Auckland. On arrival at Auckland the vessel was floated into dock. On examination it was found that several plates in hull amidships were dented, and some thirty rivets started. All the damaged parts were repaired and made good. This vessel touched the ground in the vicinity of the Pania Buoy, at Napier, on the 11th April, while on a voyage from Auckland to Wellington. On examination it was found that the vessel had grazed slightly on portside plating under Nos. 2 and 3 ballast-tanks, causing three small dents between frames. She had sustained no material damage affecting her seaworthiness, however. On a voyage from Lyttelton to Wellington on the 18th April this vessel's high - pressure radius-rod carried away, and broke two of the reversing-gear brackets. The engines were compounded, and resumed the voyage to Wellington, where the necessary repairs were effected. One of the main steam-pipes of this vessel was found to be defective. The bad part was cut out and a new piece iitted, and was tested by hydraulic pressure to 340 lb. before being put on board. While on a voyage from Puponga to Wellington on the 8th May a fire occurred in the after end of the forehold. After the fire was extinguished a survey of Hie vessel was made. It was found that the deck-planking over a space of 3 square feet had been slightly scorched. This vessel was lying at anchor in Wanganui Roadstead when a lire broke out in No. 2 lower hold. The Surveyor, on examination, found that about 50 square feet of the insulation had been charred. No material damage was done by the fire, however, affecting vessel's seaworthiness. This vessel, when off Worser Bay, on a voyage from Wellington to Blenheim, on the 22nd May, broke her propeller-shaft just outside the stern tube. The vessel anchored, and later on was towed back to Wellington, where a new propeller-shaft and propeller were fitted.

A new flange was fitted to replace the defective one, and the pipe was tested afterwards to 360 lb. hydraulic pressure before being placed on board. While this vessel was lying at the Queen's Wharf, Wellington, on the 31st May, a fire occurred in No. 4 hold. A survey was made whero the fire had been, when it was found that the fire had been confined to the cargo only, no damage having been done tothe vessel at all. A length of this vessel's main steam-pipe was found to be fractured at the neck of the flange. A new piece 9 in. long was brazed on to replace the damaged part. The pipe was afterwards tested by hydraulic pressure to 240 lb. per square inch before being sent on board the vessel. < )n a voyago to Blenheim from Wellington on the 5th July the vessel touched on the Wairau Bar. Vessel was placed on the Patent Slip, at Wellington, when it was found that the damage was confined to ono plank in the hull, which was removed and replaced by a new one. On a voyage from Wellington to Grey mouth on the 7th July, and when six miles off Cape Poulwind, this vessel's propeller-shaft broke. She was picked up by the s.s. " Koonya," and towed to an anchorage off Westport, and afterwards towed to Wellington by the s.s. " Taieri." A new propeller-shaft was fitted in Wellington while vessel was on the Patent Slip. This vessel was on a voyage from Westport to Patea, laden with coal. When crossing the bar at Patea on the 2nd July she took the ground inside the Western Breakwater. About ton tons of coal were discharged, and the vessel came off the following tide. On the discharge of the coal at Patea vessel proceeded to Port Lyttelton for the necessary repairs and for survey. Repairs were effected to hull-fastenings and to stern tube. Whilst lying at the Glasgow Wharf, Wellington, on the 3rd July, the s.s. " Corinna " collided with this vessel, breaking the tip off one of the propeller-blades. The boss of the propeller at the same time was found to be f slack on the tail end of the shaft. The vessel's stern was tipped up, and the shaft withdrawn. It was found necessary to make a new propeller-boss, which was fitted to the shaft. When moving from the Queen's Wharf to the Glasgow Wharf in Wellington Harbour on the 30th July, this vessel broke the high-pressuro slide-valvo of the main engines. The broken parts were removed, and the engines compounded till a new valve was made and fitted. When arriving from Gisborne on the 3rd August, the tide carried this vessel against H.M.S. " Pioneer," anchored in the stream. The result of the impact was that two plates were slightly dented on the port side of hullplating, and five rivets started. The rivets were cut out and renewed. When this vessel was leaving Nelson for Motueka on the 6th August she came into collision with a pipe projecting from the breastwork. Two of her deck-cabins were damaged. Temporary repairs were effected to enable the vessel to proceed to Collingwood, and on her return to Nelson permanent repairs were effected. One length of this vessel's main steam-pipe was defective at one of the flanges.

Wellington While on a voyage from Sydney to Auckland on the 5th August it was discovered that the vessel was leaking in No. 1 forehold. On arrival at Auckland a special survey was made, and it was found that the leak was caused by a rivet-hole having been covered with cement. A diver went down and put a J in. bolt through the hole, a nut being fitted to bolt inside. This was screwed up from the inside, and the vessel proceeded on her voyage to Wellington. A surveyor inspected this vessel three days later, on her arrival at Wellington, and found that satisfactory repairs had been made where the leak was, and that the vessel was in all respects seaworthy. On a voyage from Nelson to Wellington on the 11th August this vessel grounded on the Boulder Bank when leaving Nelson tor Wellington. A diver was employed to examine hull of vessel afloat in Wellington Harbour. The surveyor found that vessel was making no water. The diver on completing his examination also reported no damage. From the diver's report and the surveyor's examination it was found that the vessel had received no damage affecting her seaworthi.ug. 13 ness.

Dunedin On a voyage from Westport to Nelson on the 11th August, the vessel stranded at the entrance to new cut through Boulder Bank when going into Nelson. The vessel was surveyed on her arrival at Wellington. It was found she had received no material damage affecting her seaworthiness. The s.s. " Pateena " came into collision with the s.s. " Aorere," berthed at one of the Wellington Wharves, on the 6th August. She struck vessel's quarter heavily, causing her to leak badly, so much so that it was found necessary to beach the " Aorere." Temporary repairs were effected whilo vessel was on the beach, sufficient for her to be removed to Patent Slip. All the damage was made good before vessel came off the Slip to resume her usual trading on the coast. .. j This vessel carried away her cable-chain plates in heavy weather on a voyage between Newcastle and New Zealand on the 14th July. On arrival at Auckland all the chain-plates were renewed, and three wooden knees replaced by iron ones in the bow of vessel. On a voyage from Greymouth to Wanganui on the Kith August, in the Wanganui River, the propeller-shaft broke through propeller striking a snag. A new propeller-shaft was fitted to the vessel. The crew of this vessel complained about the leaky state of their quarters in this vessel. It was found on survey that there was ground for the complaint. New quarters were found for the men on the main deck. When crossing the Patea Bar on the 18th August, on a voyage to Wellington, a sea broke over the vessel forward, and smashed the wooden bulkhead at forward end of saloon. Extensive repairs were effected to the vessel on arrival at Wellington, and all the damaged portion made good. This vessel, on a voyage from Westport to Foxton, took the ground in the Manawatu River on the 4th August. The damage to hull, which was slight, was made good on arrival in Wellington. This vessel was on a voyage from Dunedin to Auckland. When discharging cargo at the port of Auckland on the 21st September, and when lifting a block of stone about 2 ton weight, the wire rope broke: the stone falling on the tunnel-top fractured a side-plate and one of the angle irons for strengthening the same. The tunnel-plating was repaired, and a new angle iron was fitted to replace the fracturedjone, Aug. IS Aug. 27 Sept. 1

Mascotte i A' Auckland tuckland This vessel was sold to the Wanganui Harbour Board, and was specially surveyed at Auckland, and equipped to enable her to make the voyage to Wanganui from Auckland. This vessel, while on a voyage from Dunedin to Invereargill on the 11th July, struck on the~ New River Bar. Considerable damage was done to hull-plating, abreast of engines. Temporary repairs were effected to enable vessel to proceed to Dunedin, where permanent repairs were made to the hull. Whilst on a voyage from Wellington to Patea on the 29th September, and on entering the Patea Harbour, the vessel took a shear, and came into collision with the Eastern Breakwater. The stem was considerably bent, and several of the bow-plates were fractured. Temporary repairs were made to the hull at Patea to enable vessel to proceed to Wellington. Vessel was placed on the Patent Slip, when the stem was straightened and the damaged plating made good. This vessel was on a voyage from Java to Auckland. She stranded off Good Island, in Torres Straits, on the 1st January, and was refloated with the flood tide. No apparent damage was done to the vessel, and she resumed her voyage to Auckland. On arrival at Auckland, however, the vessel was docked, when it was found necessary to renew one hull - plate and to straighten several floorplates and frames. After leaving Gisborne for Auckland on the 17th October the cargo was discovered to be on fire in the after hold. After the fire was • extinguished, and on arrival at Auckland, the vessel was surveyed, when it was found that the under-side of the deck was charred to the depth of 1 in., and the deck stringer-plating slightly sprung. This vessel when on a voyage from Glasgow to Auckland fractured the tunnel-shaft, which was only discovered while the vessel was lying at the wharf in Auckland on the 22nd October. A gun-metal Thompson patent coupling was made, and fitted to the shaft over the damaged portion. This vessel took the ground on the bar at Foxton on the 7th November, while on a voyage from Foxton to Wellington. She remained on the bar about fifteen minutes, and came off by working the engines, when it was found the vessel had lost her rudder and rudderpost. She was towed to Wellington, and placed on the Patent Slip, where she had a new rudder-post and rudder fitted. A new keel-shoe under aperture was also fitted. On the arrival of this vessel at Greymouth on the 14th September, after a voyage frou Lyttelton, the furnaces of the main boilei were found to have collapsed. After a survey of the boiler, it was decided by the owner to have the vessel towed to Wellington for repairs. The s.s. " Duco," of Wellington, proceeded to Greymouth for this purpose, arriving with the vessel in Wellington on the 20th September, After a thorough 'survey of the damaged furnaces, it was decided to fit three new furnaces to replace the damaged ones. After the completion of the work the boiler was subjected to a hydraulic test, when everything was found satisfactory. Whilst loading railway-iron at the Railway Wharf, Wellington, on the 29th November, a steel rail slipped out of the sling, making a small hole in the bottom of the vessel. The vessel was placed on the Patent Slip, where the damage to hull was made good. This vessel touched the ground off Terawhiti on the 23rd November, at midnight. The weather was very thick at the time, and the vessel was proceeding under reduced speed. The engines were put astern, when the vessel came off. On arrival at Wellington a survey was made. It was found that the vessel had sustanied no material damage. Sept. 28 .. ,, Rose Casey In Invereargill nvercargill .. Oct. 11 0ot. U . . .. Mana Wellington Vellington Jet. 24 ..

Westland (sailing vessel) Wellington Auckland When leaving the Queen's Wharf. Wellington, on a voyage to Pic-ton and Nelson on the 14th December, this vessel collided with the Taranaki Street Wharf. Several frames were broken in the counter, and several plates were fractured at same place. A hole was also made in the rudder-trunk. All the damaged portions were cut out and renewed before vessel left the port. This vossel was on a voyage from London to Nelson, and on entering the latter port in tow on the 13th November the vessel touched bottom entering the new channel. On arrival in Wellington the vessel was placed on the Patent Slip on the 22nd December, and after survey it was found she had sustained no damage. During the process of docking this vessel at Auckland on the 27th November, the vessel shifted after taking the blocks in the dock, necessitating the vessel being refloated, taken out again, and the dock pumped out. It was found that the blocks had shifted. The vessel was redocked, when it was found that the bilge-keels were set up about 4 in. and about sixty rivets sheared in the web-plate.

I Lyttelton Auckland Wellington Auckland Port Chalmers I When swinging in the Greymouth River on a voyage to Lyttelton this vessel collided with the s.s. " Kennedy," moored, at the wharf, and carried away her staunchions and boat's davits. These were replaced and made good in Lyttelton. The main stop-valve spindle connected with the steam-connections of this vessel carried away when vessel was on the point of sailing for Fiji. On a survey being made it was found necessary to fit a new valve-spindle to replace the defective one. At survey on the Patent Slip, in Wellington, seve-ral rivets were found to be loose in the forepart of hull. Altogether fifty rivets were renewed tinder the forepeak tank, and angleiron stiffeners were riveted fore and aft across frames in tank, and a new chafing-piece was also riveted on under aperture. One length of the main steam-pipe showed signs of fracture at the flanges on a voyage from Liverpool to Auckland. Repairs were effected to the damaged portions, and the pipe was afterwards tested by hydraulic pressure to 400 Hi. per square inch before being placed on board. Whilst the vessel was on a voyage from Westport to Wanganui with a cargo of coals, on the 16th January, and when crossing the bar of the Wanganui River, she bumped heavily, then stuck fast ror some hours. Vessel eventually was floated off, and proceeded to the wharf. After the cargo was discharged a survey was made of the vessel, when it was discovered that the stern-post was broken at the 10 ft. water-mark. Temporary repairs were effected, enabling the vessel to proceed to Port Chalmers, where she was docked. At the survey in dock it was found that the shank of the rudder was broken, the sternpost bent, and about five hundred rivets loose in the bottom plating of the vessel under the forehold. The defective rivets were renewed, and the rudder repaired; also temporaryrepairs were effected to the stern-post, making the vessel seaworthy. A new stern-post is being made at Port Chalmers, which will be fitted into the vessel when it is ready. This vessel put back to Lyttelton with main steam-pipe fractured on the 26th January. The pipe was taken out, repaired, and tested by hydraulic pressure to 3501b. per square inch before being placed on board. I i. fan. 29 Pukaki .. Lyttelton j

Kailuna Wellington On a voyage from Westport to Wellington this vessel, by striking some submerged object, lost two of her propeller-blades. On arrival at Wellington the vessel was surveyed, and a spare propeller fitted. On the 5th February a fire was discovered in thee afterhold of this vessel, which consisted of flax and tow, on a voyage from Awanui to Auckland. The fire was extinguished by running the vessel into shallow water and scuttling her. After the water was pumped out a survey was made. The damage to the vessel was found to consist of two deckbeams and light woodwork between the afterhold and engine-room being slightly burnt. The damaged portions were repaired. While lying at Taranaki Street Wharf, Wellington, a fire occurred in this vessel's crossbunker. After being extinguished, and the coal removed, a survey was made, when it was found that three of the floor-plates between the tank-margin plate and the ship's side were buckled, and the bilge suction-pipe fractured. Temporary repairs were effected in Wellington to permit vessel to proceed to Lyttelton, where permanent repairs were effected and vessel made seaworthy. This vessel is fitted with three single main boilers, of the Scotch marine type, having three furnaces of the Purves-pattern furnaces in each boiler, carrying a pressure of 160 lbs. per square inch, aud using Howden's forced draught. There is also an auxiliary boiler of the same description, but smaller, and with natural draught only. The defects in the furnaces were first noticed on the 26th December, 1906. The vessel was then on a voyage from Liverpool to New Zealand. The port furnace in the starboard boiler first began to leak badly. The boiler was shut off, and the tires drawn, and the boiler blown down. An examination revealed several cracks in and at each side of the grooves, about the middle of the furnace, varying in length from 3 in. to 7 in., running circumferentially from on a line with the fire-bars towards the top of the furnace. The furnace also at this place was distorted and flattened, being about ljin. out of the true circle. Temporary repairs were effected at sea by chain-patching the worst cracks and putting in a girder with supporting bolts above the distorted places. This boiler was then used for the remainder of the voyage, forty days steaming at a pressure of 150 lb. per square inch, without giving further trouble. On the vessel's arrival in Auckland on the 21st February a survey was made of the rest of the furnaces of the other boilers. The remaining eight were found to be much in the same state as the one repaired at sea. The port boiler was the worst. Some of the cracks were in. open, and fully 8 in. in length on the fire side. Repairs were effected to the starboard and middle boilers in Auckland, and the steam-pressure reduced to 1401b., these two boilers, connected with the auxiliary boiler, being sufficient to propel the vessel at a speed of about eight knots pelhour. On the vessel's arrival in Wellington anothei survey was made on the 25th February, when the boiler-pressure was further reduced to 125 lb. pressure. On vessel's arrival at Port Chalmers instructions wire given to the owners to renew the furnaces. One length of this vessel's auxiliary main steampipe was cracked at the flange. The pipe was repaired, and tested to 400 lb. hydraulic: pressure before boing placed on board the ship. k'ob. 13 Greyhound (auxiliary vessel) Auckland Feb. '5 S-s. Queen Anieliei Feb.

Whilst this vessel was on a voyage from Patterson Inlet to Half-moon Bay on the 15th February she grounded in Paterson Inlet. On the vessel's arrival at Invereargill a diver was employed to examine the hull. He reported that no damage had been done. An internal examination was also made by a surveyor, when it was found the vessel had received no injury. Whilst on a voyage from Dunedin to Waikawa the vessel ran ashore at 1.30 a.m. of the 16th February in Wiltshire Bay upon a sandy beach. She remained aground until the 7th March, when she was refloated on a good tide. She returned to Dunedin, where a survey was made of the vessel, when it was found she had received no injury. The chief engineer of this vessel reported that a flaw had developed in the after crank-pin of the crank-shaft of the main engines. At the survey it was discovered that the flaw was showing distinctly on both sides of the pin. It was decided to have a new crank-shaft made to replace the defective one. The vessel was allowed to run until the new shaft was ready. A defect was discovered in one of the lengths of the main steam-pipe of this vessel on the 18th instant whilst on a voyage from Wellington to Lyttelton. Temporary repairs were made to the pipe on the vessel's arrival in Lyttelton, enabling the vessel to return to Wellington. The pipe was taken off in Wellington and thoroughly repaired, and was afterwards tested under hydraulic pressure to 320 lb. per square inch before being placed on board.
