INSPECTION OF MACHINERY: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR 1907-8.

Presented to both Houses of 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, 24th June, 1908. I do myself the honour to transmit herewith, for Your Excellency's information, the report of the Inspection of Machinery Department of the Dominion for the financial year ended the 31st March, last. 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, g IB( Customhouse Buildings, Wellington, 16th April, 1908. I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report on the operations of the Inspection of Machinery Department daring the twelve months which ended on the 31st March, 1908. The work of the Department steadily increases every year in nearly every branch of its work. The increase in the number of boilers inspected is very marked this year. Flax-milling has been very prosperous throughout the year, and until quite recently good prices have been maintained. Never, I believe, in the history of New Zealand, have so many flax-mills been running. Sawmilling is also expanding rapidly along the Main Trunk Railway, as the railway communications are made. Dairy factories, especially in the Auckland Province, are being installed almost everywhere. Shipbuilders have been fairly busy in the Auckland District, and engineering firms generally have been better employed this year than they were last year. A great many of the suitable land-locked harbours have quite a fleet of oil-engine-powered launches and motor-boats, mostly under 5 tons, engaged for pleasure and for hire purposes. Nearly all of these have been built in the Dominion, and a great number of the oil-engines as well, with which they are fitted. The increase of land motor-cars driven by oil is also very noticeable. This branch of engineering has made rapid strides both for marine propulsion and for land-locomotion. Liquid fuel, however, as a fuel for borlers at sea, has not yet been in use in New Zealand. In the United States mercantile in,nine it has rapidly grown into favour. This is not unexpected, as the oil is indigenous to that country. In the future, however, should oil be found in quantity at Taranaki or Gisborne, it will no doubt be used largely for this purpose in the Dominion. The Admiralty in Great Britain have decided to establish storage oil-tanks at various ports in the United Kingdom, and they are adopting this oil fuel in several of their latest fast destroyers. The consumption of oil as a fuel has never been ao low as sanguine inventors expected. Ships up to 14,000 tons now make very long sea-voyages with oil alone as a fuel, so that its trustworthiness may be taken as proved. I have been able to visit most of the District Inspectors' offices during the year, and find that in the Taranaki and Wanganui districts a very marked increase in the work has taken place there. These districts have now grown to such an extent that I would recommend that in the near future an Inspector should be permanently placed at, say, Palmerston North to relieve the officer at Wanganui of all the southern portion of his large district. He could also take in all the new work along the North Island Trunk Railway from Marton. If such a centre were made it would not only relieve the present congestion of work at the Wanganui office, but would be of great benefit to steam-users having a man among them who could deal with matters promptly as they came along, thus saving great delays.

I can bear testimony to the zeal generally displayed by all the Inspectors of Machinery, the Surveyors of Ships, and the Examiners of Engineers and Engine-drivers during the year. Their work, at no time pleasant, has been performed in a very satisfactory manner, as the accompanying details of the work as set out in this report will show. Boilers inspected. This work has been rigidly carried out this year, and there are very few boilers outstanding at the end of the financial year to be inspected. The total number of boilers inspected amounts to 5,968, being 589 in excess of the number inspected last year. A great amount of ground has been covered by the Inspectors to get all this work accomplished, more especially in newly opened districts, where the communications are none too good and the boilers scattered over a wide area. This year a new factor came in to hinder inspections, and that was fire. Some journeys had to be made through country partly devastated by fire, at great risk to the Inspector. The machinery in motion, also attached to these boilers, was all inspected to see that everything was properly guarded and in order. Government Boilers and Machinery. A total of 136 have been inspected this year —viz., ninety-one boilers, eleven lifts, nine Pelton and other water wheels, two gas-engines, fourteen oil-engines, and nine electric motors. Repairs were effected to some of these where required, and certificates issued for them, but no fees were charged. Defects of Boilers and Fittings. At the annual periodical inspection of boilers this year a large number of defects were discovered. Some of the large boilers of the Lancashire type showed unmistakable signs of grooving at the furnace Hanging where the furnaces were riveted to the end plating. Some of these plates had gone quite far enough to be safe, and strengthening bosom pieces had to be fitted and riveted over defective flanging. Some of the multitubular type of boilers had to have extensive repairs made to them. Some of the defects were caused by an accumulation of scale and dirt. Several defective plates had to be cut out of some of these, and parts out of others where the bulging of the plates had gone too far. With regard to locomotive boilers, extensive repairs were made to some of these, including new fire-boxes altogether in some cases; defective parts of the plating of others were cut and part plating renewed, and a good many screwed stays renewed in other cases. To portable boilers, including traction-engine boilers, numerous repairs were effected, including new fire-box crowns, and parts of plating renewed. In one case seventy screwed stays had to be renewed ; in another eighty ; one had 137 renewed; one thirty-two ; one forty-three ; one fiftythree ; and several up to twenty screwed stays renewed. It was found that several of the vertical class of boiler needed fairly extensive repairs. Some of the defects that were discovered were highly dangerous, and would undoubtedly have led to explosion if they had not been checked in time. The total number of defects discovered in boilers and digesters atid to boiler fittings this year was 1,760, and seventy-four of these were very dangerous. Return No. 2 sets out these defects in detail. New Boilers. The number of new boilers added to oui books during the year total 465. The horse-power <>l these amounts to 6,712 : 251 of these, totalling 3,002-hors<' power, were made in the Dominion, and 214, totalling 3,710-horae power, were imported. The following table shows the number and horse-power of these boilers, and tli. districts to which they have gone :—

Gas- and Water-driven Machinery, Lifts, and Machinery Inspections. Th" total number of inspections of this class of machinery amout to 3,880. made up as follows : Gas-engines, 1,041; oil-engines, 897 ; motors and hoists, 1,500 ; maohinery inspections, 442. Fencing of Machinery. A great dealing of fencing has been ordered to make machinery in motion safe during the yeai. Return No. 4. gives full details of what has been done in this direction. The guarding of saws in motion has received special consideration during the year, and steps are now being taken by the Department to render them less dangerous. A number (if saw accidents have been reported during the year. The fencing <>f machinery generally in motion is always looked to by the Inspectors when going through factories and workshops. Examination of Knoine-dkivkms. The examination of engine-drivers has been fully maintained throughout the year at the stated times and places fixed by regulation, also at other places suitable to candidates. As far as possible, requests by all applicants to be examined have been met. This year 906 candidates came up for examination, of whom 602 were successful, while 304 failed to pass. The examinations held were for extra first-class engineers, first-class engine-drivers, second-class engine-driven, winding-engine drivers, and locomotive an'! traction-engine drivers. Detailed lists of the candidates who pissed these examinations, together with the grades and classes of examinations, are shown in fteturns Nos. 7 to 13. inclusive. The various examinations wen' held in the following places : namely, Ahaura, Alexandra South, Auckland,* Blenheim, Ohristchurch,* Colßngwood, Cromwell, Dunedin,* Foxton, Qkborne,* Greymouth.* Hamilton,* Invercargi!!.* Levin, Masterton,* Napier,* Nelson,* Ohakune. Ongaonga, Opotiki, Pukekohe, Reefton,* Roxburgh. Stratford, Taihape,* Tauranga, Thames, Tiniaru,* Totara Flat, Waikanae, Waitapu, Wanganui,* Wellington,* Weetport,* and Whitianga. During the year eleven meetings of the Hoard of Examiners were held in Wellington, under " The Inspection of .Machinery Act, 1902," to issue certificates to engine-drivers, and to deal with the issue of reciprocal certificates from "ther parts of the Empire, as well as with other matters. I regret to have to record the death of a very valuable member of the Board of Examiners <>t engine-drivers during the year —Mr. Peter S. Hay, of the Public Winks Department (late Engineer-in-Ohief for the Dominion). He rendered valuable service to the Hoard while he was a member, and his opinions always carried great weight with the Hoard. During the year Mr. C. R. Vickerman, Inspecting Engineer of the Public Works Department, was appointed an additional member of the Board. The correspondence alone Eor this one branch of our departmental work reached a total of 3,780 letters this year, and is ever on the increase. Accidents. No boiler explosion has taken place during the year. Every effort is made by the Inspectors to discover all weak places in the structure of the boiler on inspection-day, but sometimes they have to examine it under great difficulties in narrow and confined spaces. Sometimes, ton. the boiler is not thoroughly clean, and some of the parts are bidden from view by brickwork, and often inspections are made in bad weather of portable and traction engines in open fields in the country. I regret to have to chronicle several accidents, some oi them fatal, in connection with machinery in motion. A number of these have been the result of carelessness of the employee. One case—that of a girl who lost part of her scalp through her hair being caught in shafting driving a sewing-machine —should, I think, be a warning to girls who have occasion to work near any machinery in motion without having their hair enclosed in a suitable net in some way. Employers should take the matter in hand, and not allow them to do so. The particulars of the several reported accidents are set out fully in Returns Nos. 5 and 6. Postal and Police Departments. The Postal Department, in the collection of fees, the issue of boiler certificates, and for advising the Department where certificates have not been taken up. has done good .service, which is heartily appreciated by the Department. The police authorities have assisted us materially in getting at the defaulters who have worked boilers and machinery without having taken up the certificates for same. This help has enabled the Department to get in a large amount of revenue, for each defaulter has to pay an extra fee over and above that first charged. In the prosecutions which this Department had to make against machinery-owners for various offences, and against engine-drivers, the ungrudging assistance rendered by the Police Department has in many <• ises removed the difficulties which existed in taking the action necessary. Marine Engineers' Examinations. A new book of regulations relating to the examination of marine engineers in the mercantile marine in New Zealand has been issued during the year. These regulations comprise a!! the recent Board of Trade additions appearing in the book last issued in Great Britain in 1906. A large number of new * Places at which examinations have been held more than once during the year.

elementary questions have been added dealing with electricity, management of oil-engines, steeringengines for ships, and hydraulic machinery as used Lα steamers. These examinations fot certificates of oompetenoy this year have been held at the following places: viz., Auckland,* Napier,* Wanganui,* Wellington,* Nelson,* Christchurch,* Timaru,* Dunedin,* [nvercargill,* Pent. Chalmers, ELohu Kohu, Tauranga,* Gisborne,* Reefton, Qreymouth,* Onnondville, Whakatane, and Whitianga. The total number of applicants who applied to be examined amounted to 273 ; of this number, 216 passed these examinations successfully and fifty-seven failed. Of those who failed, there were eight first-class marine engineers, one second-class marine engineer, twelve third-class marine engineers, twenty-three river engineers, three marine engine-drivers, two first-class engineers (powered vessels other than steam), three second-class engineers (powered vessels other than steam), five restrictedlimits engineers (powered vessels other than steam). Return No. 14 gives the names of the Buooessfol candidates and the various grades for which they paesed, the total number of applicants, total fees payable, and the number of candidates who failed to pass such examinations. Explosives. During the year 242 writti-n permits were issued at Wellington by this Department for the aarriage of explosives on steamers. Annual Surveys of Steamships and Luxiliary-powered Vessels. By the end of the financial year very few steamers were overdue for survey throughout the Dominion. Like other branches of the Department's work, this important part of it is steadily increasing. Considerable additions to the steam fleets in New Zealand have been made during the year, and several fine handy steamers have been built in Auckland with hulls of wood, and fitted with machinery made locally. The Surveyors of Ships have shown commendable zeal this year in seeing that all the vessels that had to be surveyed in their various districts were inspected. No friction has occurred with thu shipowners during the year. A great many necessary repairs have been effected, and all these have been supervised by the Surveyors of this Department to a finish. The periodical surveys are now carried oui in ;; very complete manner. During the year special attention has been given to the testing of auxiliary steam-piping, and to the hulls and ballast-tanks of steamers. New books, with full instructions as to the survey ofjpaseenger-aooommodation and for the survey of crew-spaces in ships, were received in 1907 from the Board of Trade of Great Britain. These are nowbeing adopted by the Department as their guide in the future inspections of the passenger-accommo-dation and crew-spaces of ships. Surprise visits were made to several steamers dining the year, but very little was discovered that could be found fault with. A great many excursion-trips have been run by passenger-steamers during the year, without any mishap or accident. All the fittings and additional equipments necessary for these trips have been supervised by the staff at all hours. Extra accommodation for passengers has been put up on several of the intercolonial boats to cope with the passenger traffic. The total number of surveys of steamers and auxiliary-powered vessels made was 390. The fees received for these surveys amount to £1,973 15s. Return No. 15 gives the total number of steamers and oil-engined vessels surveyed by the Surveyors of the Department during the year. and also gives their names, registered tonnage, nominal and indicated horse-power of steam-vessels, and the brake horse-power of oil-engine vessels, also the nature "I machinery and propeller. Surveys of Vessels for Seaworthiness. Numerous special surveys of steamers and sailing-vessels were made during the year at the request of shipowners. The necessity for the surveys will be seen from perusal of the defects as set out in the descriptive Return No. 17, which gives full details of the nature of these defects. The Surveyors of this Department have assisted the shipowners as much as possible when urgently called upon to advise in emergency breakdown cases-'on ships. Amongst the most important of these surveys are the following : The direct steamer " Surrey " was detained in the latter end of February last year owing to the condition of her main boiler furnaces at Port Chalmers. New furnaces to replace the defective ones were made in Great Britain, and were fitted on board at Port Chalmers on arrival. The work was inspected throughout by one of our Dunedin Surveyors, and completed in May, 1907. The boilers were afterwards subjected to a severe hydraulic test. They stood the test well, and to the satisfaction of the Surveyors of this Department. The steamer " Bucentaur " had the misfortune to get on a coral reef when entering Suva Harbour. The vessel, though extensively damaged, was temporarily repaired at Suva, and came on to Auckland. A survey was made on arrival, and the vessel was detained for repairs and docking. Several weeks were spent over the extensive repairs that were found necessary to be done to her hull-plating. Great credit is due to the crew of this vessel in making Auckland as they did, with the ship so badly damaged. A fire was discovered in one of the holds of the direct steamer " Turakina " some days after leaving Auckland. The master brought the ship back to Wellington. After her arrival here it was some time before the fire was got under, and not until the vessel's holds were flooded. Extensive damage was done to the structural work in the fore holds and decking overhead. A great many of the steel

deck-plates had to be taken oui and straightened and afterwards replaced and reriveted. The wooden decking was all practically renewed in the fore part of the ship. The whole of the repairs to this vessel were carried out to the satisfaction of the Department's Surveyors. The principal defects in other cases were found to be caused by defective steering gear and rudders ; defects and Haws in main and stern shafting ; to fires in holds ; defective stern tubes : defects in furnaces ; to collisions ; vessels grounding ; defective"?main steam-pipes ; and to general defects in machinery. Altogether seventy-one of these special .surveys were made. The fees for these surveys amount to £233. Return No. 17 gives full particulars of each survey in detail. Government Stkamers. The Government steamers surveyed and inspected this year include the s.s. " Antrim."* 8.8. " Ben Lomond,"* "Countess of Ranfurlv '"f (sailing-vessel), s.s. " Ilinemoa," s.s. 'Manic Keddon," s.s. " Lady Roberts," " Mountaineer,"* s.s. " Reremoana,"f and s.s. " Tutanekai" ; total, 9. The s.s. "Tutanekai" has had a new boat-deck fitted to accommodate the two forward boats, and the s.s. " Hinemoa "is just completing a fairly extensive overhaul at Port Lyttelton. The overhaul includes the renewal of all the main boiler-tubes, two new slide-valves for the main engines, and renewal of several of the plates of the deck casing over the engines and boilers, and a complete overhaul of the deck machinery. The whole of the ship is being subjected to a thorough inspection. This vessel has done splendid service for the Government in connection with lighthouse work, and her speed to-day is perhaps better than in the early years of her advent injjthe Dominion. All the money that has been spent on her has tended to render her more efficient and more suitable for her special coastal lighthouse work. Additional Stkamers 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 fortythree in number. The names of these steamers and vessels are : " Advance,"f " Albatross/'f " Alert,"f " Bell Bird," " Canterbury," " Cascade,"! " Daphne," " Dawn,"t " Elsie,"f " Endeavour,"f " Ivy,"} "Jane,"t " Kaiapoi," "Kahu/'t " Kaipatiki," " Kia Ora,"t " Koniata," " Magic,"t " Maidi,"f "Maori," " May,"f "Muriel," "Mvstery,"f " Naomi 'III,"t " Nita,"f "Nora Niven," " Otara,"f •<)tunui,"t "Pearl,"t " Pitoitoi," " Reremoana,"f " Sally,"t " Terawhiti," " Thistle, "f "Victoria,"! " Victory,"! " Violet," " Wave."f Some fine steamers were added to the vessels trading along the coast and the intercolonial trade during the year. Among these notably are the s.s. " Maori," s.s. " Marama," and the s.s. " Ulimaroa." They are all fitted up in a sumptuous style for passengers, and have great speed and power. These vessels were surveyed in Great Britain before leaving, and are now miming on the certificates issued by the British Board of Trade. The s.s. " Maori "is a turbine vessel fitted with three screws. The sailing-vessels surveyed for the first time were the " Rona " (barque), " Pelotis " (barquentine), " Joseph Craig " (barque), and "Louise Craig " (barque). Sailing-ships. This year twelve intercolonial sailing-vessels were surveyed, and various structural repairs carried out, and additions made to them. Most of these surveys were made at the I'm) c>l Auckland this year. The majority of these vessels are engaged in the timber-export and coal-import t rades between Kaipara, Auckland, and Australia. Return No. 16 gives full particulars of these. The total fees received for these surveys amount to £87. Districts and Inspectors, etc. Several changes have taken place with regard to districts and Inspectors during the year. Two new Inspectors —Mr. William J. Crawford and Mr. Andrew McKenzie —were appointed. The former •has been stationed in the Auckland District, and the latter has been assisting in the Wellington District since his appointment, but goes to ChrUrtchurch shortly as one c>l the Inspectors in the Canterbury District. Mr. A. Bethune, who has been in the Southland part of the Otago District for some years, goes to Dunedin to be permanently stationed there as senior officer. His place in Southland was filled by the transfer of Mr. P. Grant bom the Auckland District. .Mr. C. Suisted, who had been attached to the Head Office staff for some years, was transferred to Auckland to replace Mr. W. Douglas. The latter was promoted to take charge of the southern portion of the Auckland District, with his office at Hamilton. The work in the southern portion of the Auckland District has increased very rapidly.of late years, owing to the extension of the railway and the opening of large tracts of new country. The survey of all the steamers and vessels on the Waikato River, Rotorua lakes, Taupo Lake, and at the ports of Raglan and Kawhia on the west coast, will all be included in the work to be done in this new section of tiie Auckland District by the Inspector stationed at Hamilton. Mr. A. R. Stone was appointed Chief Clerk to the Department during the year. He was transferred from the Public Works Othce in Auckland, where he had been employed in the same capacity for some years. His service with the Public Works Department extended over a period of twenty years. He began his new duties on the 10th January, 190b.

(Limited), Invereargill I 1 Power-press] for stamping] out tops yi of milkcans r Donald Nelson'' t I 17 years I 22nd April, 1907 : I both thumbs cut off ! Nelson was working at the press when a top got jammed in the machine. He endeavoured to remove this with his thumbs, and while doing so his foot slipped on the treadle, and brought the top of the machine down with great force, cutting off both of his thumbs. While working at the machine the wood slipped, and ('tolly's finger came in contact with the knives. Set-screw of drill-socket caught in loose sleeve of Gardner's jacket, bringing his arm round spindle and breaking it. While working the machine Marshall allowed his finger to be caught between guard and cog-rack. Marshall was clearing away the sawdust underneath bench with a piece of wood, and let his finger touch the saw while it was in motion. While Mcintosh was taking off the manhole-door the steam escaped, scalding him severely. After Brown had taken off the belt which drives the pump the loose belt caught his hand, and twisted it round the shaft, causing the fracture of the arm. While Watts was putting the steel stamps under the ma-chine-press his finger came in contact with the stamp. Mollier was manipulating the saw preparatory to starting, when he accidentally pulled the saw towards himself, damaging the thumb of his hand that was on the bench. Sutton was standing close to the intermediate shaft when ■ the belt caught his coat and pulled him round the shafti ing. | While Thirston was going under the main shaft, the belt caught his sleeve and drew his arm round the shaft, causing the fracture. When Milne was fixing rollers on machine his hand partly passed through, the machine crushing it. Washer was cutting tenons for Saahee, '['he wood he was working slipped, and drew his hand on to the knives. Burn's neck was caught between the Hoor of warehouse and the top of the lift whilst the latter was descending. The accident was caused by workmen in the machineryroom setting Hie gear in motion before the protecting gates were closed. Workmen were at the time attending to the repairs of lift-gear, and passengers were not allowed to use the lift. This child had got about the liftcage unknown to the workmen engaged in the repair of the lift and its connections. - ago Brush Company, Dunedin s Khupine-machine e A. H.

In putting the confectionery into the machine, Grenfell accidentally allowed her finger to come in contact with the knife attached to the machine. Havill, while feeding the machine, did not look at what be was doing, and let his hand come in contact with the cog-wheels. Guise put his finger through the connecting - rod strap when his assistant was turning the engine, when his finger was cut off. McNeill was sawing a thin board, feeding with his left hand. He allowed bis hand to slip off the board, and his thumb came in contact with the saw.

When Fenton was starting the engine, he allowed his sleeve to be caught in gear which drives the governor. His wrist coming against the gear, it was severely lacerated. Parker got his finger into the groove of one of the cams of the machine, when it was bruised slightly. While Cox was working the machine, a small piece of the wood he was working chipped off and entered his eye. When Westbury was coming out of the pit, immediately under the printing-machine, his coat-sleeve caught in the cogs of the machine, and his arm was drawn in. A piece of the wood that Nolan was putting through the saw flew off and lodged in his hand. While Hunt was cleaning the machine while it was in motion, a piece of cotton-waste he was using caught in the revolving wheel and drew his finger into the cogs. Brown carelessly put his hand under the press while working it. While Stewart was pushing back some loose starch into the trough, he got his finger caught between the sprocket and chain of the traycarrier. He should have stopped the machine before doing what he did. The'sleeve of the jacket Robinson was wearing caught in the socket-screw, which is used for keeping the drill in the socket-holder, and drew his arm round the spindle of the machine.

Dowsing released hold of the flitch of wood, when it was immediately jerked back by the saw, and it fell on hix thumb, crushing it. Wright got underneath the machine to pick up something dhe had dropped. Her hair was caught by the main shaft, which runs underneath the machine, while it was in motion, tearing half of her scalp off. j Clarke inadvertently put her finger on the anvil of the machine while it was in motion. While Pearson was sawing a piece of angle-iron, and pressing the iron against the saw, he allowed his thumb to slip under the saw. Carter was employed by the contractors, who had been fitting up the machinery at the destructor power-house, in Auckland, for the City Corporation. He went to turn the steam on at the main stop-valve on the destructor boiler, which is connected to another boiler, recently installed, by a range of 6 in. piping. There was evidently some water in the piping from condensation having taken place, probably from the steam left in the range of piping when used on a previous occasion, or from the stop-valve leaking a little. As soon as Carter commenced to open the steam stop-valve, the steam, coming suddenly into contact with the water in the piping, caused water - hammer action to be set up. The shock due to the vibration set up by this action was the cause of the stopvalve bursting, and injury to Carter. ( raig, after having used the saw, lay down on the sawbench. On getting up again he allowed his fingers to come in contact with the saw. \ While planing a piece of timI ber, Halligan allowed his hand to be drawn into the machine, and his fingers came in contact with the knives of the cutters in motion. Carroll was feeding the machine, when, by some mishap, her hand got under the chain of the machine.

Burt (Li- ! Lathe mited), Dunedin B. Nicol; 15 15th January, 1908 : years bruised small finger of left hand B. Nicol; 15 years While working a lathe, Nicol allowed his finger to be caught in one of the pinionwheels. Coppell was tightening the nut on the saw-frame, when the spanner slipped. The back of his hand coming into contact with the band-saw while it was in motion, was cut by it. Heppleston was engaged packing the gland of the steamengine. While he was thus engaged, it started off of its own accord, through the valve not being shut off, jamming his finger in the gland. Arnold inadvertently pot his hand on the saw while working at the saw-bench. While Holmes was working the press his foot slipped, and in trying to save himself he put his thumb under the press. Buchanan allowed his hand to get too near the rollers of the machine while engaged entering the paper between the rollers. Harness, while pushing the timber he was sawing towards the saw, allowed his thumb to come in contact with the saw. Monaghan fell off a box on which he was standing near the drilling - machine. In falling he permitted the finger of his left hand to get between the revolving cog-wheels of the machine. The finger was severely crushed. While feeding the machine, Broadbelt allowed his fingers to be too near the revolving cylinders of the machine. Peperell was engaged oiling the machine. He passed his hand under the moving belt attached to the machine, by which it was caught and carried between two pinions. When doing some repairs to the machine, Peterson allowed his arm inadvertently to come in contact with some of the revolving parts of the machine. W T iig was a visitor at the works to witness the trial run of a new engine being installed ; and it is presumed that he was leaning against a revolving shaft for working the valve gear, when his coat caught the head of a key attached to the shaft. He was dragged round the shaft several times. Livick rang the bell for the lift; while waiting, he saw an open door-panel (the glass of which was broken), and he leant through to look down the well to see where the cage of the lift was. The lift descending at the time caught him between the lift and door, injuring his head and shoul.lolin Smith and Co., Ta- i Woodwork ing kaka machine E.

Home accidentally put his foot on the trigger which starts the press, thus bringing the die down whilst he was placing a sheet of tin under the die. Part of his hand got under the press with the sheet of tin. While working the lathe the rest slipped, and Turnbull's thumb was caught between it and the chuck of the lathe. The knife canted, and the head of the press when descending crushed Morgan's finger, which was underneath it. McDonald was assisting to cut some wood with the saw, and inadvertently allowed his hand to come in contact with the saw. Milford was planing a piece of wood, and accidentally allowed his finger to come in contact with the knives of the planer. When taking dough out of the mixer whilst it was running, Gent allowed his arm to be dragged into the machine. He did this against orders, and in face of a printed warning against interfering with machine while it was in motion. Wohlers was cutting a piece of wood, 3 in. by 1J in., up the centre, and when nearing the end of the cut the piece of wood jumped, causing his fingers to come into contact with the saw, causing the injury.

Tarawera Wellington Whilst on the voyage from Lyttelton to Wellington, on the 1st April, it was found that this steamer's steering-gear was not in good working-order, and on arrival at Wellington the rudder was inspected and the gear overhauled. It was found that the rudder-shank was twisted at the neck, preventing the rudder from going over sufficiently on the starboard side. The twisting was presumably due to the rudder having touched the wharf whilst the vessel was berthing at Lyttelton on the 29th March. There being no signs of fracture, the tiller was taken off and a new key-seat sunk to bring it in line again, after which the rudder was tested and the vessel found seaworthy. This repair was considered good enough as a temporary repair. On a voyage from Dunedin to the Bluff, and whilst proceeding down the harbour at 3.37 p.m. on the 28th March, this vessel took the ground off Ravensbourne. She was floated off at 3.30 a.m. on the 29th March, and continued her voyage to the Bluff. On the vessel's return to Port Chalmers from the Bluff on the 6th April, she was surveyed, and found perfectly seaworthy. A flaw having been discovered in the top arm of the rudder, close to the shank, it was decided, after an inspection, to lift the rudder out for a further examination, when it was found that the rivets in a previous patch fitted on the middle arm were loose, and also several rivets in the lower arm. The loose rivets were taken out and renewed, and a T piece forged and riveted to the upper arm. This made the vessel seaworthy. On the 28th February, at Westport, in No. 3 length of tunnel-shafting, a flaw was discovered about S in. long, running longitudinally ; it was marked, but when inspected later at Wellington, on the 9th April, the flaw showed no signs of extension. On the 5th April, at Westport, in No. 2 length of tunnel-shafting, a flaw was discovered about 8 in. long, and running at a slight angle. It was marked, and when inspected again at Wellington, on the 9th April, it was found to have extended 1| in. A strong sleeve was made and fitted to shaft over the defect. On the 15th March this vessel drifted on to the rooks in Tairua Harbour, and received damage to her hull. On arrival in Auckland the vessel was docked for survey, when the following repairs were effected: 14 ft. of the keel and plate were taken out, and 9 ft. of same straightened and fitted in place again ; the remaining 5 ft. was renewed in No. 1 strake alongside of keel-plate. Another plate 4 ft. by 3 ft. was cut out and a new one fitted. The rudder and stock were also straightened. On the 29th March this vessel's rudder-shank was twisted whilst berthing at Lyttelton. On the 17th April, at Port Chalmers, the rudder was unshipped by a diver. The vessel was docked on the 18th April, and found to be in good condition. The rudder was straightened, and on the 19th April it was reshipped by a diver, and examined under steam, proving to be in good condition. This vessel took the ground on the 16th April, after leaving the wharf inside the Napier Harbour. She was on a voyage to Auckland via coast ports. On the 18th instant the Harbour Board's dredge, on coming alongside to run out an anchor for her, struck the vessel between her port lighthouse and stem, fracturing the sheer-strake plate and the one above for a depth of 4 ft. This was temporarily repaired with an overall patch. On the 20th instant, after discharging some coal, the vessel came off the ground at 2 a.m. and was berthed alongside the wharf. She was afterwards examined by the Napier Harbour Board's diver. He found that the vessel had sustained no damage to her hullplating by grounding, and, after being surveyed and found seaworthy, she was allowed to proceed to Auckland. ,, Ayrshire ..

Morayshire Dunedin On the 19th April, whilst proceeding from Port Chalmers to Dunedin, this vessel took the ground off Kilgour Point, Sawyer's Bay, through being out of the channel. Next morning she was floated off, after being about twelve hours aground. At Dunedin the vessel was surveyed and found to have received no material damage affecting her ( seaworthiness. Whilst this steamer was lying at the Wellington wharf, it was found, on examination, that a flaw had developed in the thrust-shaft, extending nearly the whole length of the thrust-bearing through the collars, and it also showed slightly in the body of the shaft in three of the recesses. The owners were advised to get a new shaft ready to be put in at the next survey, due in a week's time. The shaft was accordingly made and fitted in at the survey. On the 15th April a flaw was discovered in the crank-shaft of this vessel. A new shaft to replace the defective one was made and fitted. Whilst this vessel was lying in Auckland Harbour, the hand steering-gear was coupled up to insure its efficient working when required. It was left coupled up, and, immediately prior to the vessel's leaving that port on the 23rd April for Wellington, the steam steering-gear was tried, without unshipping the hand-gear. The result was that the two side-rod ends were wrenched off, the worm-screw was bent, the stand for the after-bracket was pushed out of position, the angle-iron broken, and front top of the lever quadrant for top levers broken. The steering-wheel was practically demolished. Necessary repairs were effected to make the steering-gear effective and seaworthy. While this vessel was on a voyage from Wellington to Dunedin, a fire occurred in No. 1 lower hold on the night of the 5th May. The hold was flooded with water, and cargo removed at Dunedin. An examination was made at Dunedin. The only damage done was to deck-planking, which was slightly charred, and two deck-beams, which were slightly buckled. This damage, however, did not affect the vessel's seaworthiness. While on a voyage from Dunedin to Herekino, this vessel grounded on the Herekino Bar on the 13th April. On the 18th April she was kedged off with her own anchors at high water, and proceeded to Helensville. She was placed on the slip at Helensville on the 20th April, when it was found that the planking on the port bilge was sprung, and required refastening and recaulking. The centreboard was also leaking badly; this required to be refastened and recaulked. The necessary repairs were effected. On the 21st December, 1906, while on a voyage from Liverpool to New Zealand, the furnaces of the main boilers of this vessel were found to be defective. Temporary repairs were effected at sea, and on arrival at Auckland the furnaces were further repaired, enabling the steamer to proceed to Dunedin. The vessel was detained at this port to fit nine new furnaces to replace the defective ones; on completion of the Work the boilers were inspected and tested by hydraulic pressure, and found satisfactory. While on a voyage from Dunedin to Invercargill on the 14th May, this vessel grounded in the channel, below Port Chalmers. She came off with her own engines on the 15th .May, and was surveyed on her arrival in Invercargill and fovind to have sustained no damage. ,, Eotomahana Wellington April 23 „ Storm April 26 Dunedin May 2 „ Zealandia Wellington May 6 ,, Mokoia Dunedin May Flower (ketch) Helensville May 13 . •- April 4 - May 16 Dunedin S.s.

Wellington This vessel arrived in Wellington at 9.40 p.m. on the 24th April from Auckland, and anchored at the usual anchorage. The wind was blowing strong from the north-west. The port anchor was let go, and shortly afterwards the starboard one also. Although the engines were put in motion, the vessel dragged her anchors and went ashore at Point Jerningham at 10.30 p.m. On the 26th April the tugs " Duco " and " Duchess " hauled the vessel off and brought her alongside the wharf. Soundings were taken, which showed she was not making any water. The hull was examined by a diver, who found that the starboard bilge-keel was twisted and bent downwards for a length of about 10 ft. from the after end. Two of the propeller-blades were broken off near the root, the remaining two blades having lost from 1 ft. to 1 ft. 6 in. from the tip of each blade. The vessel was tipped and a new propeller fitted, enabling her to proceed to Lyttelton, where she was docked on the 15th May. An examination showed that, in addition to the above damage to the hull, the plating was bulged in between the frames; also, 240 rivets had been loosened. All the loose rivets were renewed and the other damage made good. On the passage out from England to Wellington, a length of the main steam-pipe showed a defect in one of the flanges. On the vessel's arrival in Wellington the pipe was taken ashore, and a new piece of pipe 6 in. long and a new Pope joint were fitted. The pipe was afterwards tested to 400 lb. hydraulic pressure before being put on board. While on a voyage from Ocean Island to Melbourne via Auckland and Dunedin, and when entering Otago Heads, this vessel struck the bar on the 28th May. The hull of the vessel was surveyed inside, and an examination was also made of the inner hull - plating inside the tanks. The only damage found was some of the cement broken in No. 1 tank. No damage was done to the framing or plating of the ship. This vessel was on a voyage from Auckland to Gisborne, and when about five miles from the latter port, at 1.45 p.m. on the 2nd June, the bottom flange of the lowpressure piston broke; the broken piece got in between the piston and the stuffingbox. The vessel was towed to Gisborne by the s.s. Tuatea," where the stuffingbox was repaired and the vessel enabled to steam to Napier, where a new piston was made and fitted to the satisfaction of the surveyor. While on a voyage from Wanganui to Wellington, the vessel ran on the rocks at the north end of Kapiti Island about 1.15 a.m. on the 8th June. She remained there for about twenty minutes, when she came off with her own engines, running astern. On her arrival at Wellington she was placed on the slip, where an examination of the hull on the 8th June showed that there were several dents in the garboard strake on the port side of the vessel, between the frames ; two small cracks were also found. The above damage was efficiently repaired. This vessel was proceeding from Lyttelton to Wellington on the 14th instant, when a length of the main steam-pipe developed a crack near one of the flanges. On the vessel's arrival in Wellington the defective length of pipe was taken ashore and the damage repaired. The pipe was then tested by hydraulic pressure before being placed on May 29 „ Waiwera . .

Nora Niven Dunedin This vessel was steaming up to Dunedin on the night of the 25th June, and, when in the upper harbour, she got out of the channel and touched the sand-bank. An inspection was made of the hull, when the vessel was found to have sustained no damage. It was found necessary, while on a voyage from Valparaiso to Sydney, to put into Auckland on the 6th July for repairs to machinery and for coal. The vessel was docked, and the stern length of shafting drawn; and the stern-bush was relined to the satisfaction of the surveyor. After this vessel's arrival in Auckland from London, the machinery was being overhauled, when, on the 1st July, a fracture of a serious nature was discovered in the M.P. crank-shaft, necessitating its removal. A spare shaft which was on board the vessel was fitted in its place. Whilst entering Nelsonjf Harbour at 5.15 a.m. on the 9th July, after a voyage from Picton, the vessel grazed the rocks near the leading beacons with her starboard bilge. On her return to Wellington, on the 10th July, a diver examined the ship's bottom, and a surveyor made an internal examination. It was found that the ship had received no damage. This vessel was entering on the 16th July, after a voyage from Wellington, when she stranded on a shingle-bank alongside the wharf, through the flood-tide sheering her into shallow water. She remained there from 10.20 a.m. till 11.5 a.m., when she, came off with her own power. On her arrival in Dunedin a survey was made, and the vessel was found to have received no damage. Whilst the vessel was being shifted in Sydney Harbour on the 26th June by a tug-boat, the propeller: came in contact with the wharf-piles, breaking one of the blades. Upon the vessel's arrival in Lyttelton she was placed in the dry-dock, the propellershaft drawn and examined, and a new propeller fitted. This vessel left Gisborne the 10th July in tow of the steamers " Tawera " and " Nautilus." At the end of the breakwater the vessel sagged to leeward, as the tugs were not powerful enough, in the fresh southerly gale which was blowing, to prevent this. The vessel was dragged on to the breakwater, striking slightly amidships. It was thought that no damage had been done, so the vessel proceeded on her voyage. The following morning there was a considerable depth of water in the hold. Upon examination, a leak was discovered, which was temporarily repaired to enable the vessel to complete here voyage to Kopu, Thames, where repairs were effected. The owners of this vessel desired to change her certificate from home trade to foreigngoing. The boats, rafts, and other equipments were inspected, the necessary additions made, and the required number of officers supplied to comply with the Shipping and Seamen Act. Whilst on a voyage from Lyttelton to Dunedin on the 2nd August, the centre stern-tube was found to be cracked circumferentially about two-thirds round. Temporary repairs were effected in Dunedin by fitting a clamp round the tube ; the vessel was thus enabled to proceed to Lyttelton for docking, where permanent repairs were effected. While the vessel was on a voyage from Westport to Nelson she lost her port propeller about 1 a.m. on the 7th August, when seventy-eight miles from Westport. Having twin screws she proceeded on her voyage to Nelson with the starboard engine. There a survey was made, and the vessel allowed to proceed to Wellington. She was placed on the Patent Slip, and a new shaft and propeller fitted. fuly 6, 8, 9 ,, Indra ,, Auckland "uly 6, 8, 9, 10 „ Rakaia .. Auckland luly 10 .. „ Penguin .. Wellington „ Te Anau ..

Dunedin Lyttelton Dunedin Dunedin Dunedin On a voyage from Adelaide to Conception Bay, Chili, between the 25th and the 28th May, in mid-ocean, the vessel fell in with heavy weather. Heavy seas breaking on board did considerable damage to the boats, runninggear, &o. The deck-houses, wheel, and chainplates were carried away, bulwarks started, and twenty-three bulwark-stanchionsjon the port side and six on the starboard side were broken. The vessel in distress put into Port Chalmers on the 31st for repairs. The bulkheads were straightened, twenty-nine new stanchions fitted, two hundred rivets renewed in bulwarks and sheer-strake, chain-plates reriveted, new wheel fitted for steering-gear, new boats, a number of sails and part of running-gear renewed, deck-house, rails, and stanchions, &c, fitted. Owing to bad weather on the 8th August, when on a voyage from Greymouth to Timaru, the main steam-pipe was fractured at the flange. The pipe was sent from Timaru to Christchurch, where it was repaired, and afterwards tested by hydraulic pressure by the Inspector to double the working-pressure, before being put on board. This vessel went into dock at Port Chalmers to have eight intercostal plates put in the fore tank. It was then discovered that one buttstrap on the bottom of the hull was leaking, and that seventy rivets on the port side near the bow Were defective and required renewing. It Was thought that the above damage was done when vessel was pitching in a heavy sea. As the owners wished to have the certificate of this vessel changed from home trade to to foreign-going, the equipments were surveyed and the necessary additions made thereto. The boats were provisioned for foreign-going. ■ Whilst this vessel was leaving Greymouth for Oamaru on the 22nd August a swift current was running in the river. This prevented the vessel from answering her helm quick enough, and she grounded, but came off almost immediately. On her arrival at Dunedin it was found that several rivets in the butt-strap, on the port side of forward ballast-tank, were started. The defects were made good. After leaving Patea for Wellington, and when crossing the Patea Bar at about 1 p.m. on the 13th instant, the vessel was struck by heavy seas, which started a butt on the starboard side of the bottom in the way of foremast, and also several planks on the port side of the bottom, and broke two floors. On arrival in Wellington the vessel was placed on the Patent Slip, where two floors were fitted on the port side, and thirty new muntz-metal fastenings put in the planking, and four new fastenings put in the butt on the starboard side. The owners wished to have the certificate for this vessel altered from home trade to foreigngoing. The equipments were surveyed, and the necessary additions made thereto, and extra provisions put in the boats. The owners wished to have the certificate for this vessel altered from river to home trade. The equipments were surveyed, and the necessary additions made thereto. All the boats were provisioned for home trade. One flange on the main steam-pipe required rebrazing. The whole length of the steampipe was tested to 200 lb. hydraulic pressure. Whilst the vessel was signalling Farewell Spit Lighthouse on the 15th September, the engines being slowed down at the time, she grounded on the edge of the Spit, and remained there until the 16th instant, when she came off with the assistance of \ the s.s.

Dunedin In the after-length of the crank-shaft of a the engines of this vessel, a reed which had shown for some years had begun to extend. A new after-length of the crank-shaft was fitted, to replace the defective one. A defect had shown at the neck of the flange of the main steam-pipe of the refrigeratingengines of this vessel. The flange was removed, and a new one fitted. The pipe was then tested by hydraulic pressure to double the working-pressure, before being put on board. On the 11th October whilst this scow was on a voyage from Onehunga to Hokianga she began ' to leak badly, and was beached on Shelly Beach, Kaipara Harbour, to prevent her from sinking, until she could be placed on the Patent Slip at Helensville. Presumably while pile-driving on the Manukau Bar or while lying on the ground when loading, the garboard planks were sprung from the keel for about 4 ft. on each side, starting about 5 ft. from the forefoot running aft. The opening Was about fin. wide. The wormeaten part of the keel was cut out, and new pieces fitted in and bolted through the keel. One extra fastening was put into the garboard planks, and the sprung seams were recaulked. Whilst entering Suva Harbour, at 9.30 p.m. on the 6th August, after a voyage from Vancouver, the forward part of this vessel stranded on East Beef, where she remained until floated off at 8.30 the next morning. The accident was caused through the helm being put the wrong way. For about 28 ft. the plating of strakes A, B, C, and D, on the starboard bow, were very badly knocked about. There was a large hole in B strake, immediately under the collision bulkhead, and another hole under the bulkhead of the chainlocker. The rivets in the landing of B and C strakes were sheared for a distance of 24 ft. on the port bow ; one plate in each of strakes A, B, C, and D was badly dented. These four plates were taken out and straightened, and ten frames set up, and the plates put baok again. Four plates were renewed on the starboard side, one in A strake 15 ft. long, one in B strake 19 ft. long, and two plates in C strake 12 ft. and 14 ft. long. Four plates were taken out and straightened; twelve frames and reverse angles for same cut at various distances and straightened, and fitted together with 24 in. butt-angles. Two reverse angles, 4 ft. by 6 ft. of plating of collision bulkhead, and frame of same on ship's side, and chain-locker bulkhead plate 5ft. by 6 ft. were all renewed. Four floors were also renewed, and reverse angles straightened and refitted, and eight rivets around propelleraperture were taken out and renewed. Numbers one, three, and four pintles of rudder were rebushed. Five water-space stays in the starboard combustion-chamber of the starboard boiler were drilled out and new stays fitted. Six new water-space stays were also fitted in the port boiler. The bilge pipes and strums in the forehold were repaired. Three stanchions, extending from the main keelson to the main deck, were straightened. The steering engine and gear and steam-windlass were overhauled. The compasses were adjusted on the 24th October. Temporary repairs were effected to this vessel at Suva sufficient to enable her to come to Auckland for docking, where the above extensive repairs were done. On the arrival of this-vessel on the 21st October, at Wellington from Timaru, a flaw was discovered in the tunnel-shaft 14 in. long in line of shaft.

Buoentaur Auckland This'vessel was redocked, when four rivets were found, on removing the cement, to be leaking. After these were tightened up the vessel undoeked and sailed for Melbourne. Whilst lying at the wharf, Auckland Harbour, this auxiliary schooner took fire on two occasions—on Sunday, the 13th October, and on the following Sunday, the 20th October. The first fire took place in the engineer's berth, the second in the oaptain's. The hull of the vessel fortunately escaped the fire, but the engine-room, mess-room, and the engineer's berth were gutted the first time. The repairs to the damaged parts were just about completed when the second fire occurred, burning the new work, and gutting out the engine-room and captain's room, hatch, skylight, and roof of deckhouse. The verdict at the inquiry as to the cause of the fire was " that the ' Endeavour ' was wilfully set fire to with a tin of benzine by some person unknown." All the above damage was efficiently repaired. On the 13th October, whilst on a voyage from Wellington to Patea, this vessel went aground on the Patea Bar and breakwater. She came off on the 15th October, and grounded again the same day on the other side of the bar and floated off on the 16th. The stern-post, which was broken, was welded in two places, and the rudder-post and stock in one place, by the Thermit process. Two new after keel-plates were put in, and two hundred rivets renewed in the hull and floor-plates. One of the deckbeams was strengthened with a reverse bar. Some stanchions were straightened and reriveted to beams. This vessel was towed to Port Lyttelton from Patea to have the above repairs executed. On the voyage of this vessel from Auckland to London, at 4.45 p.m. on the 29th September, and when 557 miles E.S.E. of Chatham Islands, a fire was discovered in No. 1 hold amongst the cargo, which consisted of flax, wool, &c. All the ventilators were closed, and the Clayton fire-extinguisher started. At|;5.55 p.m. the vessel was put about, and proceeded full speed for Wellington. All the boats were provisioned and got in readiness. The vessel arrived in Wellington on the 2nd October, and was berthed at the Queen's Wharf, where it was found necessary to flood the hold before the fire was got under. After the hold was pumped out and the cargo discharged, an examination was made. The spar-deck on the starboard side forward was a good deal buckled and the frames twisted. The wooden deck and the crew's quarters were considerably damaged, and the upper deck and beams were also damaged, but to a less extent. Twelve plates were taken out of the spar-deck on the starboard side of No. 1 hatch, and were straightened and replaced, and the deckbeams were also straightened. One deckbeam in the upper deck which was cracked has been straightened by riveting a channeliron to it. A new wooden deck has been laid over the damaged portion of the spardeck. The crew's quarters have had part of the decking renewed and the remainder caulked. The damaged fittings were repaired and renewed, and the whole of the quarters painted. The main boiler of this vessel has been retubed, the old furnaces were drawn, and new Pox's oorrugated furnaces fitted. The boiler was afterwards tested by hydraulic pressure to one and a half times the working-pressure. The hull of this vessel was caulked where required, and sheathed with 6 in. by J in. totara.

Kaikoura Dunedin This vessel was on a voyage from Cape Town to Port Chalmers ; whilst steaming up the Lower Harbour on the 29th November she grounded at the new cut at 9 a.m. At 9 p.m. on the same day, after discharging a portion of her cargo, she was refloated. The ballast-tanks were examined by the Surveyor, and the bottom of the vessel by a diver. No repairs were necessary. This vessel had a home-trade certificate. As the owners desired to have it altered to foreign-going, she was surveyed for same, and the boats provisioned accordingly. On the 10th December this vessel arrived at the Taranaki Street Wharf from New York, when a fire occurred in No. 1 hold among the cargo. No repairs to the vessel were necessary, as the fire was confined to a portion of the cargo under No. 1 hatchway, and the vessel had received no damage. As it was desired that this vessel should make a voyage from Port Chalmers to Newcastle, N.S.W., her Victorian certificate having nearly expired, she was surveyed for seaworthiness until her return to New Zealand for a complete survey. On a voyage of this vessel from Collingwood to Motueka, about the 20th December, it was noticed that there was a small hole through one of the planks in the bottom of the vessel, and that the plank had started from its fastenings. To enable the vessel to proceed from Motueka to Nelson temporary repairs were effected. Since her arrival in Nelson, instead of going on the slip for repairs, she has been laid up. Whilst proceeding from Wellington to Greymouth on the 2nd January, this vessel met with an accident to her propeller and rollingchocks at the Greymouth breakwater. There was a high wind and a heavy sea with a strong tide at the time, and she grazed the side of the breakwater as she was entering the harbour. About 15 ft. of the starboard rolling-chock was damaged and the rivets sprung. Some fifty rivets were renewed. The two propeller-blades which were damaged —one having about 14 in. broken off the point of the blade, and the other directly opposite having 8 in. broken off—were replaced by two spare blades, and the nuts cemented. This vessel arrived from Picton at Nelson on the 28th January. Whilst she was berthing she collided with the wharf, damaging her bulwarks. The distance from the wharf was misjudged in the darkness. Three bulwarkplates with butt-straps and two angle-iron stanchions from the main deck to the boatdeck were renewed, and one plate in the sheerstrake was patched. The wooden rail round the bulwarks and the cement in the waterway were renewed where damaged. This vessel was purchased by the Invercargill Shipping Company, who found it necessary to out a hatch in the after deck. There had been a companion-way there, and to obtain hatch-area another deck-beam was cut. This was compensated for by heavy coamings. The crew-accommodation was increased to carry five seamen, by moving the forward bulkhead aft 2 ft. Equipments were put on board for home trade. A new propeller-shaft was fitted, of a largerdiameter than the old one. On the 4th February, during the voyage from Wellington to Lyttelton, one blade of the propeller was broken off close to the pro-peller-boss, caused by a flaw in the blade. A new propell'T was fitted, the shaft being in good order. „ Talune Dunedin lee. 9 leo. 12 „ Lord Stanley Wellington „ Kaiapoi .. Dunedin leo. 13 leo. 27 Oban (schooner) Motueka 1908. Jan. 6, 13 ..

Waihi ,, Therese Ward ,, Kapiti ,, Taieri ,, Manapouri Lyttelton Wellington Dunedin Lyttelton On the voyage from Blenheim to Wellington on the morning of the 7th February, the vessel got amongst rocks at Terawhiti, but was got off again when the tide receded. The vessel was placed on the slip in Wellington, when it was found that one bow-plate was considerably damaged. The port rollingchock tee-iron started for about 4 ft. About two hundred rivets, which were found to be loose, were renewed throughout the hull. The rudder-frame was severely shaken; seventeen rudder-rivets were renewed. The bottom of rudder-socket was set up and reriveted. The four propeller-blades were taken off and straightened. On a voyage from the Bluff to Stewart Island, on the 5th February, the vessel struck an uncharted rock in Half-moon Bay. The engines being in motion, and the propeller coming in contact with the rock, all her propeller-blades were stripped off. The vessel was towed from Stewart Island to the Bluff, where necessary repairs were made, including the fitting of a new propeller. On a voyage from Wellington to Patea, this ship struck the bar at Patea while entering. Considerable damage was done to the vessel, which included the fracture of the rudderpost, and the thrusting upwards of the bottom of the aperture some 5 in. Temporary repairs were effected at Patea to enable the vessel to steam to Lyttelton. On arrival the vessel was placed in the dock, where the rudder-post was welded by the Thermit process. All other necessary repairs were done to make the vessel seaworthy. The owners of this vessel asked for her certificate to be changed to foreign from home trade. Vessel was specially surveyed at Lyttelton to enable her to make a voyage from Greymouth to Hobart and Melbourne. New tanks were fitted to two of the boats, and these were provisioned as required for a foreign-going certificate. All provisions and other appliances were examined and found in good order. On the voyage from Auckland to Raratonga, Cook Group, and when abreast of Rangitoto on the 18th February, the bracket for the after end of the upper shaft carried away. The vessel returned to the Port of Auckland, where repairs were effected. On the voyage from Lyttelton to Wellington, on the evening of the 29th February, a crack developed in a flange of the main steam-pipe through a flaw in the material. A new flange was fitted to the pipe, and the pipe tested to 300 lb. per square inch hydraulic pressure before being placed on board. On the 4th March, as the vessel " Te Anau " was leaving Wellington for Picton, she ran into the stern of the " Arawa " lying at the Queen's Wharf, Wellington. The stern of the " Arawa" on the port side was cut through about 3 ft. into the shelter-deck, and extending nearly down to the main deck. The damage to the vessel included damage to four plates, four beams, three frames, deck-rails, stanchions, and to two warpingbits. Temporary repairs to stanchions, and rails were fitted, and the hole covered over with battens and canvas to enable the vessel to proceed to Lyttelton for permanent repairs. These repairs consisted of three new deck-beams, 13 ft. long, 6 in. by 3-J in. by £ in. ; three frames cut, and new parts 9 ft. long, GJin. by 3J in. by £in., fitted. These frames were butted with angle and butt straps at the back: one plate 14 ft. by 2ft. 6in. by -is™-' an( i 13ft. coveringboard 5 ft. by fg in., and three shell-plates 8 ft. by 4 ft. by in. ; waterways angle iron, 5 in. by 5 in. by Jin. by 18 ft., and one angle iron 3J in. by 3 in. by J in. by 18 ft. long were fitted, and 20 ft. of rail and two mooring-bits on main deck were renewed. ?eb. 19 Auckland tfar. 2 „ Maori Wellington „ Arawa Wellington and Lyttelton [ar. 4, 18 ..

Dunedin Auckland Dunedin It was reported that this vessel, which was lying at Dunedin wharf loaded and ready for sea, was leaking badly. On examination it was found that the vessel's own pumps were able to overtake the pumping-out of all the water she was making. It was, however, considered essential to dock the vessel, when it was found that all the seams in the hull were in a bad state. These were all recaulked. A channel-iron shoeing-piece was fitted on the keel at the bottom of the aperture where the keel had been fractured. A bad leak was noticed in the front seam of the starboard furnace, which was slack in the front plate. A thin liner was made and fitted to the defective seam, and the whole reriveted. Whilst this vessel was lying alongside the wharf, on the Hokianga River, a fire—supposed to have been caused by a spark from a lamp— started in the waste-locker in the engineroom, between the back of the main boiler and the engine-room, and burnt the waste, locker, vice bench, and wood flooring, and damaged all the lead and copper pipes. The damaged pipes were renewed. The main steam-pipe was disconnected, and, along with the auxiliary steam-pipes, was tested by hydraulic pressure. All the other parts which were damaged by the fire were renewed. [ar. 23, 26 i
