INSPECTION OF MACHINERY: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR 1908-9.

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 July, 1909. 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, Minister in Charge of Inspection of Machinery Department. His Excellency the Right Hon. Lord Plunket, X.C.V.0., 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 IR) — Customhouse Buildings, Wellington, 3rd May, 1909. 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, 1909. A good year's work has been accomplished, and, although more inspecting has been done this year than in any former year, there are still some portions of the country work in arrears. Most of the shipping-steamer-survey work, however, is completed. There is a great increase in the number of gas, oil, and electric motors inspected. Quite a number of new producer-gas plants have now been installed in the Dominion, and, as far as I can learn, are working well and with very economical results. The dangers to life by the inhaling of this poisonous producer-gas not being generally known, the Department issued a circular mounted on cardboard, setting out the dangers in the use of it, and pointing out clearly what should be done as first aid in the case of any one who had been overcome with the gas. As the gas has no smell, it is difficult to detect its presence in any building. The circular has been hung up in all the generating-rooms where the producer-gas is made for power purposes. Special rules dealing with spherical and dished end construction in the building of vertical boilers, digesters, steam-domes, &c, were issued to the Inspectors of Machinery. Several boilers of peculiar designs, mostly used on steam-wagons employed on public roads, have been dealt with. A large number of new electric lifts have been installed this year in buildings. For the first time in New Zealand perfectly automatic electrically controlled lifts have been introduced. So far only three of these are in use. By an ingenious arrangement of push-buttons at the different landings and on the lift-cage itself, any person can get to any landing in a building by simply pushing the correct button for that landing. These lifts require no attendant. Inspection of Machinery Act. The principal Act was amended last session. Some of the most important alterations made are the following: — The definitions of a " boiler " .and of " machinery " have been extended. It is now clearly defined who shall be in charge of an electric, hydraulic, or other lift, and under what conditions a lift may be exempted from being in charge of any one. The owner of any boiler which carries a higher pressure than that granted by the Inspector is now liable to a fine of £100, instead of £10 as formerly.

I—H. 15a.

TL—L5a.

The glass water-gauge for registering water-levels in boilers has now to be protected in case of fracture. . If an owner makes any alteration in the diameter of a steam-cylinder of an engine, he must notify the local Inspector within a month. The class of engine-driver who has, to be in charge of a steam turbine engine, having no cylinder, is denned. An engine-driver must be in effective charge of the engine and boiler at all times, and if while in charge of such an engine and boiler he absents himself from his charge he commits an offence. If an engine and a boiler are too far apart to be in effective charge of one man, then an Inspector may report in such a case to the Chief Inspector, who may require the owner to have the engine and boiler in charge of separate persons: if the owner fails to comply, he commits an offence. No person who has suffered the loss of a hand or a foot shall act as a driver of a locomotive or winding engine. The driver for so acting, and the employer for employing such a driver, are liable to a fine of .£5 for every day during which such employment continues. An engine-driver holding a service certificate is now entitled to the same wage as a driver holding a competency certificate of the same class. Provision is made for the appointment of a Chairman and of a Secretary to the Board of Examiners under this Act. Every applicant for an engine-driver's certificate must be a British subject. Provision is made for a statutory declaration being accepted where an applicant is unable to produce written proof of service by reason of the destruction or loss of his papers, certificates, and discharges. An applicant must produce a medical certificate that he is not wholly or partially deaf, nor has defective eyesight, nor is subject to any other infirmity likely to interfere with the efficient discharge of his duties, before he can be examined for a locomotive and traction or a winding engine driver's certificate. Any locomotive-engine driver employed on the New Zealand Government and Manawatu Railways, or on any railway the property of His Majesty in any British possession, or on any railway in the United Kingdom, can now receive a certificate under this Act without passing an examination, provided he has the prescribed length of service and holds the necessary credentials. A " motor " is defined as a vehicle propelled by its own mechanical power, and so constructed as not to emit smoke, steam, or visible vapour except from any temporary or accidental cause. Motors are now subject to inspection under certain conditions. The owners have to report within one month that they are possessed of a motor if the weight unladen exceeds 3 tons. The weight of any motor whose weight unladen exceeds 2 tons shall at all times be painted in legible letters on the right-hand side. The minimum age of drivers who may be in charge of certain motors is defined. Boilers Inspected. A considerable increase has been made in the number of boilers this year. At the end of the financial year there were still a number of boilers the inspection of which could not be overtaken for various reasons. This branch of the Department's work has gone on very smoothly, and no friction whatever has arisen with any boiler-owner during the ) 7 ear, which speaks well for the tact displayed by the Department's officers when dealing with the public. The number of boilers inspected totals 6,073. There is thus an increase of 105 over the number inspected last year. All the machinery attached to these boilers was also carefully examined at the time of boiler-inspection, and quite a number of visits were made to see the boilers under steam and the machinery running under working-conditions. All the different districts throughout the Dominion, so far as practicable, have been visited during the year. Government Boilers and Machinery. The boilers and machinery attached to the various Government institutions that have been inspected total 114, and include 72 boilers, 10 lifts, 1 water-turbine, 1 hydraulic hoist, 3 gasengines, 19 oil-engines, and 8 electric motors. A number of repairs were made to these installations throughout the j'ear, and certificates issued. Defects op Boilers and Fittings. A great many defects in boilers and their fittings were discovered during the year. Amongst the principal repairs to boilers may be mentioned the renewal of several fireboxes in boilers of the locomotive and traction type, the renewal of several shell-plates in boilers of the multitubular externally fired type, new uptakes and repairs to furnaces of boilers of the vertical type, and the retubing of nearly a hundred boilers of various types. With respect to boiler-fittings, some of the most important defects were thirty defective steampressure gauges', thirty water-gauge mountings, nineteen test-cocks, ten spring balances for safetyvalves, six safety-valves, twenty-one blow-off cocks, sixteen blow-off pipes, and sixteen fusible plugs, which were condemned. The defects discovered on the inspection of boilers and digesters total 1,399; 62 of these were very dangerous. Return No. 2 sets out these defects in detail. New Boilers. Four hundred and eleven new boilers have been added to our books this year. Their total horse-power amounts to 6,447. Two hundred and thirty-six of these, of 2,859f-horse power, were made in the Dominion, and 175, of 3,587|-horse power, were imported.

The following table shows the number and horse-power of these boilers, and the districts to which they have gone: —

Amongst those made in the Dominion were two large boilers of the Lancashire type of the following dimensions : Length, 30 ft.; diameter, 8 ft.; and weighing about 30 tons. These boilers were made by two different firms in Wellington, and were subject to very close inspection during the time they were under construction. All the holes were drilled, and the riveting done by hydraulic pressure. The test of both proved highly satisfactory, and both boilers are quite a credit to the workmanship of the Dominion. They now form part of the boiler-installation at the Wellington Tramway power-station. Gas- and Water-driven Machinery, Lifts, and Machinery Inspections. During the year the total number of inspections of machinery made was 5,233. 1,471 gasengines were inspected, and 1,263 oil-engines. The number of lifts and motors examined, including water and electric motors, was 2,155 ; machinery-inspections, 344. Fencing of Machinery. Great care has been exercised throughout the year with the fencing of machinery in motion. Return No. 4 gives full particulars of the guarding done. Examination op Engine-drivers. These examinations have been conducted at places where required by the Examiners of the Department. A greater percentage of failures of the candidates who sat took place this year than in former years. The oral portion of the examinations has been made more difficult, necessitated by the more complicated nature of engines and the higher pressure of boilers now in use. The former issue of the book of regulations having nearly run out, the Department decided towards the end of the year to revise the former regulations and the syllabuses for the different examinations. The regulations since their first issue in 1901 have been little altered. The new regulations are now in the printer's hands, and will be issued shortly. It is proposed to revise the examination-papers for the extra first-class engineer and the firstclass engine-driver. The Board of Examiners for Engine-drivers sat on ten occasions at Wellington to deal with the granting of certificates to the successful candidates, and to consider the proposed new regulations and the examination-papers. Examinations have been conducted at the following places during the year: Alexandra South, Aratapu, Auckland,* Blenheim, Carterton, Christchurch,* Cromwell,* Dunedin,* Gisborne, Greymouth,* Hamilton,* Havelock, Invercargill,* Mangorei, Maungaturoto, Napier,* Nelson,* Opotiki, Palmerston North,* Reefton,* Shannon, Timaru,* Tokatoka, Waikawa, Wanganui,* Wellington,* Westport,* Whangarei, and Whitianga. This year 847 candidates came up for examination, of whom 535 passed, and 312 failed to pass the examination. The different classes for which examinations were held were—extra first-class engineer, first-class engine-driver, second-class engine-driver, winding-engine driver, and locomotive and traction engine driver. Detailed lists of those who passed for these examinations, together with the grades and clashes of examinations, are shown in Returns Nos. 7 to 13. Accidents. . It is gratifying to be able to report that there has been no boiler-explosion during the year. On looking over the latest return published by the Board of Trade re the boiler-explosions in Great Britain for the year ended 30th June, 1907, I find that there were seventy-seven explosions,

causing the death of twenty-eight persons and the injury of sixty-five. Nearly ail the catastrophes seem to have been due to weakness, mostly the result of the age of the boilers. There were also several cases of steam-pipes bursting through water-hammer action. We are very free from disasters of this kind in New Zealand. There were several accidents connected with machinery in motion, some of them proving fatal. The particulars of the several reported accidents are fully set out in Returns Nos. 5 and 6. Postal and Police Departments. These Departments have again aided the Department when required, and thanks are due to both for the material assistance thus rendered in many ways. Marine Engineer's Examinations. Examinations for marine engineers have been held at Auckland,* Hamilton,* Napier,* Wanganui,* Wellington,* Christchuich,* Timaru,* Dunedin,* Invercargill,* Russell, Havelock, Foxton, Greymouth, and Westport during the year. Of those who sat for examination, 204 were successful and 43 failed. Of those who failed, 7 sat for first-class marine engineer, 14 second-class marine engineer, 5 third-class marine engineer, 8 for river engineer, 2 for marine-engine driver, 1 first-class engineer (powered vessels other than steam), 1 second-class engineer (powered vessels other than steam), and 5 for restricted-limits engineer (powered vessels other than steam). The work in connection with the examinations has gone on very smoothly during the year, and very little friction has arisen between the Examiners and the candidates. Some of the candidates' papers are of a very high standard. This refers more particularly to the first-class marine engineer's examination. A candidate for this certificate has to sit three days under examination in mathematics and mechanics, mechanical drawing, and a long oral examination. The thirdclass engineer's examination is still very popular with the young engineer just out of his apprenticeship. 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 examination. In addition to the examinations for engineers, two master mariners sat for examination for masters in steam, one sitting at Auckland and one at Wellington. Each candidate failed to secure a pass. It is now a number of years since a similar examination was held in New Zealand. Explosives. At Wellington 312 permits were issued by this Department for the carriage of explosives. Surveys of Steamships and Auxiliary-powered Vessels. This branch of the Department's work is practically up to date, very few ships being overdue for survey. A number of the steamships have received considerable overhauls and renewals during the year, comprising partial renewals to hull-plating, new bunkers, repairs to bulkheads, floorplates, and many repairs to main boilers and renewals to different parts of machinery, defects in chain cables, steering-gears, &o. When the turbine steamer " Maori " was under survey at Lyttelton I paid a special visit to inspect the turbines when they were opened out. I was much interested in the thousands of blades, and with their accurate fitting, which go to make up the finished turbine. When it is considered that the whole is set up when working with a very small clearance, it is marvellous that they run so well, especially when the different thicknesses of material used in the Different parts, and the varying temperatures, are considered. The usual number of excursion trips have been run by steamships during the year, without any accident. A number of the intercolonial steamships had additional passenger-accommodation fitted up to cope with the demand for extra berths. All these fittings were duly inspected by the Surveyors of Ships at all hours. The total number of surveys of steamships and auxiliary-powered vessels made was 392. The fees received for these surveys amount to £2,072. Return No. 15 gives the total number of steamers and of auxiliary-powered vessels surveyed by the Surveyors of the Department during the year. It also gives their names and registered tonnage, the nominal and indicated horse-power of steam-vessels, the brake horse-power of auxiliary-powered vessels, and the nature of machinery and propeller. Surveys of Vessels for Seaworthiness. A great many special surveys of steamships and of sailing-ships were made during the year. The repairs in some cases were very extensive, and the vessels were detained a considerable time for overhaul. Amongst the most important surveys made was that of the s.s. " Navua." In this case the damage was caused through the vessel's contact with coral reefs in the South Seas. The principal causes that necessitated surveys being made were defects to steam-pipes, loss of propeller-blades, grounding, fires in holds, collisions, collapsed furnaces of main boilers, broken pistons, broken propeller and crank shafts, boiler-defects, and defects in various parts of the machinery. In all, sixty surveys were made. A full description of each appears in Return No. 17.

Government Steameks. The Government steamers surveyed this year include the s.s. "Amokura," s.s. "Antrim," s.s. "Ben Lomond," Defence launches "A," "L," and " W," s.s. " Hinemoa," o.e.v. " Irini," s.s. " Janie Seddon," s.s. "Lady Roberts," s.s. " Manurere," s.s. "Mountaineer," o.e.v. " Patiti," o.e.v. " Reremoana," s.s. " Tawera," and s.s. " Tutanekai," a total of 16. The three new oil-engine launches for the Defence Department were inspected during the whole time of construction by the Surveyors of this Department. The one for Auckland Harbour and the one for Lyttelton Harbour were built in Auckland, and the larger boat for Wellington Harbour was built in Wellington. The hulls of all the vessels are of the best kauri, and the machinery for all the vessels was imported from Great Britain. The trials for speed were run to the satisfaction of the Surveyors, and the vessels have now been in commission for some time. Additional Steamers and Vessels Surveyed for the First Time. The following steamers and auxiliary-powered vessels, numbering thirty, have been added to our lists during the year, and surveyed for the first time. Their names are —" Defiance,"* "Dorset," "Excelsior," " Kaiaia,"* " Kaitangata," " Kina,"* " Koromiko," "Lena,"* "Mahurangi," " Maitai," " Matariki," " Mawhera," " Nellie Mason,"* "Ngaheve," "Pahiki,"* "Portare,"* " Regulus," "Rio Loge,"* "Tβ Awhina," " Tui,"* " Tuirangi," " Tukua,"* "Waihora," "Wairau," " Waitemata," " Waterlily,"* " Zingara," and the Defence launches "A,"* " L,"* and " W."* The sailing-vessels surveyed for the first time were the schooners " Advance," " Era I," and " Whangaroa," the ship " Dartford," the barquentines " lima " and ' Selwyn Craig," the ketch " Kereru," and the barques " Manurewa " and " Senorita." Sailing-ships. During the year nineteen sailing-vessels were surveyed. Return No. 1G gives full particulars of these surveys. The total fees received for these amount to £99. Districts and Inspectors. A new district office has been opened in Palmerston North, which has already proved of great convenience to that district. Mr. William Cullen, who had been attached to the Head Office staff since his appointment, was promoted to take charge of the new district. Mr. William J. Crawford, who had been attached to the Auckland Office for some time, was transferred to Otago. Two new appointments have been made during the year: Mr. Peter Mackenzie, who took Mr. Cullen's place in Wellington, and Mr. W. G. Bell, who has taken Mr. Crawford's place in Auckland. I regret to have to record the death of Mr. Alexander Ramsay, Inspector of Machinery and Surveyor of Ships, who had been in the Department since the 14th April, 1904. He had been stationed in Otago ever since his appointment. He proved himself most reliable, painstaking, and conscientious, and the Department has lost one of its most capable officers. In tli# near future new centres should be made in Westland and in the Kaipara districts. In both of these districts there is now quite a sufficient number of boilers to inspect and steamers to survey to keep an Inspector and Surveyor well employed. Returns. The following are the returns in detail, numbered from I to 19 : — 1. Number and class of boilers inspected, and fees payable thereon; the machinery inspected, and the fees payable; and the classes and numbers of engine-drivers' certificates issued. and the fees payable therefor. 2 Return of defects found on inspection of boilers. 3. Return of notices given to repair boilers. 4. Return of notices given to fence dangerous parts of machinery. 5. Return of accidents which were not fatal. 6. Return of accidents which proved fatal. 7. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Names of all persons to whom land stationary, winding, and locomotive and traction certificates of competency and service have been granted during the year. 14. List of persons who were examined and passed for marine engineers' certificates of competency. 15. Return of steamers and oil-engined vessels surveyed during the year. 16. Return of sailing-vessels surveyed during the year. 17. Return of vessels surveyed for seaworthiness, &c, during the year. 18.

On the next turn of the engine the crank caught him and caused his death. He had no right to be near the fly-wheel, as it was specially fenced off to prevent such accidents happening. The band-carriage moved while Ellis was on it, examining a log, through his having left the starting-lever unlocked. When he noticed the carriage moving he tried to get to the lever, but was too late. He was carried on to the saw by the moving carriage, and cut to pieces. The elevator-wheel was being turned by means of a screwjack : Probert was assisting by standing on the inverted buckets on the inside of the wheel. When taking a fresh grip with his jack a lever was put in to hold the wheel, but it slipped out. The weight of sand in the uptake buckets caused the wheel to revolve the reverse way, and Probert was carried round by it and crushed. He received such injuries as to cause his death an hour and a half afterwards. Elevator-wheel George bert; years Pro26 14th July, 1908 : both legs broken, and severe internal injuries

Wellington On the voyage from Blenheim to Wellington, on the 24th March, this vessel grounded on the Wairau Bar, remaining fast until the 29th at 3 p.m. She came off by means of her engines. The straining of the vessel whilst on the bar caused the main steam-pipe to develop a crack at the neck of the flange next to the stop-valve. On arrival at Wellington the pipe was taken ashore for repairs. The flange was shifted back beyond the fracture, and brazed. The pipe after repairs was tested by hydraulic pressure to double the working-pressure before being put into position on board. This vessel was on a voyage from Dunedin to Invercargill on the 12th March, and at 6.45 p.m. on the same date she grounded on a mud-bank in the New River estuary. The weather being thick at the time, the master was unable to pick up the beacons. She remained aground until 7 p.m. on the 13th March, when she came off with the assistance of her kedge-anchors and her own engines. After 35 tons of cargo was discharged a survey was made of the vessel, when it was found she had sustained no damage. Whilst on a voyage from Melbourne to Kaipara, and when beating down the West Channel, Port Phillip, Melbourne, on the 10th March, this vessel took the ground. The weather was fine and the sea smooth at the time, and she was successfully floated off on the 12th March by the aid of her kedge-anchors. On arrival at Auckland, 125 tons of ballast shingle was removed from the holds, and the limbers cleaned out. A survey was made on the 5th April, when the vessel was found to be perfectly seaworthy. On the 6th April, as this vessel was proceeding on a voyage from Motueka to Wellington, and when near the French Pass, the main steam-pipe of the port engine cracked close to the neck of the flange, owing perhaps to the straining of the vessel in bad weather. When the crack was discovered the steam was shut off, and a covering-gland fitted over the defect. After this was done the vessel proceeded on her voyage to Wellington under reduced steam-pressure. On arrival, the pipe was taken ashore, and the defective part cut out and the flange rebrazed. The pipe was then tested, before being put on board, by hydraulic pressure to double the working-pressure. This vessel was on a voyage from Gisborne to Auckland on the 12th April, when she lost one blade off her propeller; the propeller was a solid-cast one, and the blades were found to be weak at the root. A new propeller was fitted. The shaft was in good order. .pril 2 „ Rakiura Wellington .pril 5 Louisa 0 r a i g (barque) Auckland S.s. Tasman Wellington .pril 8 .pril 13 ., Squall Auckland

Mokoia Auckland This vessel was surveyed for extra passenger accommodation, ventilation, the electric light, and the necessary equipments were provided to the satisfaction of the surveyor. On the 1st April, whilst this vessel was on a voyage from London to Auckland, it was noticed that the after peak was full of water. The cargo, which consisted of gelignite, was removed to the 'tween-decks, when it was found that a plate on the port quarter was fractured. On the same day the chief engineer noticed the stern gland leaking badly. The propeller had evidently lost a blade, which had struck the hull-plating at port quarter, piercing it. Temporary repairs were effected at sea to enable the vessel to reach Auckland. A sheathing-patch was riveted over the hole in hull-plating, and repairs made to the propeller. On the passage from Mahurangi to Auckland, on the 5th April, and whilst steaming slow, inside the Auckland Harbour, at (i.3O a.m., the vessel grounded on a sandy beach during a dense fog. She floated off the bank the same day at 5.30 p.m. The vessel was surveyed on her arrival at Auckland, when it was found that she had received no damage affecting her seaworthiness. On the 23rd April a crack 3 in. long was discovered in the top shell-plating of the vertical boiler of this vessel. A cover-ing-patch was riveted over the crack, and an extra stay fitted. Vpril 1(3-29 „ Maori Auckland .pril 22 May Howard (aux. schooner) Auckland S.k. Tiiniwha Timaru April 23-27 May 6, 15 „ Maheno Dunedin A survey was made of this vessel's two low-pressure turbines. It wa3 found necessary to renew the dummy casings and casing-rings of both the low-pressure engines. The owners wished to have the certificate for this vessel changed from home to foreign trade. The necessary equipments were put on board, and the boats provisioned. A survey was made of this vessel to enable her to make a voyage from Nelson to Wanganui. She was placed on the beach for survey. A few defective rivets and one angle iron below belting were renewed. The necessary equipments were provided, and a certificated master and engineer appointed for the trip, and permission was given for the vessel to proceed from Port Hardy to Wanganui. On the 20th May, when this vessel was lying alongside the Glasgow Wharf, at Wellington, a fire started in No. 1 hold amongst the cargo. After the fire was suppressed a survey was made, when it was ascertained that, excepting a few bulges to the deck-plating and one or two frames slightly buckled, the vessel had received no material damage affecting her seaworthiness. This vessel had grounded several times in the Mokau Eiver, and on arrival at Lyttelton she was placed on the slip. A survey was made of the hull, and a false keel was fitted the whole length of the vessel. The rudder was repaired, and a new propeller-shaft fitted. Other minor repairs were effected to make the vessel seaworthy. The owners of this vessel asked for her certificate to be changed to foreign from home trade. The hull of the vessel was specially surveyed, when a number of loose rivets were renewed, and one new butt-strap fitted to hull-plating. The boats were provisioned as required for a foreign-going certificate, and all other necessary equipments put on board. Whilst mooring at Lyttelton on the 8th June this vessel collided with the wharf and twisted the forward rudder. The rudder was taken out, straightened,'and replaced. On the arrival of this vessel at Lyttelton on the 11th June it was found that the furnaces of the main boiler were much out of shape. They were set back by pressure to the satisfaction of the Surveyor. On a voyage from Westport to Foxton, and whilst proceeding up the Foxton River, this vessel touched ths edge of the bank, and stripped off some of her propeller-blades. The rudder and rudder-post were twisted, which prevented the helm being put hard over on one side. The vessel was put on the river-bank at high water, and repairs effected. This vessel, on a voyage from Waipu to Auckland, on the 23rd June, during a fog, went ashore on Takapuna Beach. She got off by her own steam the same day. The vessel, which was leaking slightly, proceeded to the Takapuna Wharf, Auckland, where a survey of the vessel was made. A small hole was found in the hull, which was temporarily patched up.

Auckland Whilst this vessel was on a voyage from Tauranga to Auckland, on the 24th June, she lost her port propeller, the shaft breaking off clean at the neck of the taper. The vessel proceeded to Auckland with her starboard engine. A new propeller and propeller-shaft were fitted to the satisfaction of the Surveyor. On the 21st June, on a voyage from Dunedin to Invercargill. this vessel's port-propeller shaft broke, and the starboardpropeller blades were stripped off. The port tail-shaft broke in the stern-tube, the broken portion with propeller slipped aft, and, as the propellers overlap one another, the port one, being the forward one, came in contact with the starboard one, thus stripping off the blades. The vessel was picked up and taken in tow by the s.s. " Invercargill" at 2.30 a.m. on the 24th June, arriving at Invercargill at 1.30 p.m. the same day. A new starboard propeller and a new port-propeller shaft were fitted to the satisfaction of the Surveyor. A special survey was made of this vessel to enable her to make the trip to Sydney and back. The necessary equipments were placed on board, and all boats provisioned. On the 13th June this vessel collided against the railwaybridge piers at Balclutha. The river was in flood at the time, and to prevent her from sinking she was run ashore. The vessel was refloated on the 27th June. On being surveyed it was found necessary to renew 16 ft. of the portside top strake of hull-plating, 9 ft. on the starboard side forward, and seventeen of the frames were straightened, and all other minor damages made good. This vessel was on a voyage from Dunedin to Lyttelton on the 18th August, and when abreast of Taiaroa Heads the engines developed a heavy knock. The cylinder-cover was removed, when it was found that a piece was broken off the flange of the piston of intermediate cylinder. On the 8th July this vessel was lying at Napier breakwater, when the moorings carried away, and she drifted on shore before being secured. The vessel came off with her own steam two hours afterwards. On a survey being made it was found that six of the hull-plates were slightly dented. The vessel was put on the slip some days afterwards, when several faulty rivets were renewed in hull-plating, and repairs to rudder effected. This vessel was on a voyage from Westport to Wanganui, and on the 5th July, when crossing the Wanganui Bar, she stranded. The rudder and rudder-post were lost, and propeller and propeller-shaft bent. The hull received considerable damage during the time vessel was stranded. Temporary repairs were made to the hull at Wanganui after vessel came off the beach to permit of her being towed to Wellington. On the 12th August she was placed on the Wellington slip, when all defects were made good. On a voyage from Westport, on the 25th August, this vessel collided with the end of the Onehunga Wharf, tearing away three plates in top sides of the hull-plating and three angleframes. A survey of the damage was made, and the following repairs were found necessary: One bulwarkplate at the foremast of the raised deck 6 ft. 9 in. by 3 ft. 6 in. by /„ in., one plate abutting the above and running along the side cabins 8 ft. by 3 ft. 8 in. by | in., and one above this 13 ft. by 3 ft. 2 in. by T 5 S in., were all renewed. The latter plate carries the side ports to the cabins. Three angle-frames 6 ft. by Z\ in. by 3£ in. by f in., and one angle-bar along the top deck, 18 ft. by 2J in. by 2\ in. by | in., had also to be replaced, and several other minor defects were made good. On the 26th August, on a voyage from Nelson to Picton, and when off the end of the Picton Wharf, the starboardpropeller shaft broke. The engines had been put from ahead to astern, and just when commencing to go full speed astern the shaft broke. The vessel returned from Picton to Wellington with the port engine. She was placed on the Patent Slip, and a new propeller and shaft fitted. On a voyage from Auckland to Whangarei, on the 11th August, this vessel struck a sandspit through Bream Tail having been mistaken for Bream Head. The vessel went on the bank at 4 a.m., and floated off again at 5 a.m. the same day. The vessel was surveyed on her arrival in Auckland on the 3rd September, and was found to have received no damage.

Navua Auckland On the voyage from Rarotonga to Raiatia, and whilst getting under weigh at Raiatia at 5.10 a.m. of 12th August, this vessel appeared to touch some submerged object, presumably a mushroom coral reef, resulting in a slight leak in No. 5 ballast-tank. Again, on a continuation of the same voyage from Aitutaki to Mauki at 12.28 p.m. on the 19th August, the vessel glided on a reef and remained fast until 1.20 p.m., when she floated off. A slight leak was found in No. 1 ballast-tank. The ballast-tanks were examined in Auckland by a Surveyor, and after survey this vessel was allowed to proceed to Port Chalmers for docking and repairs. The damage was to the plating at keel, to the strakes of plating on either side of keel, and to the floor-plates and frames in areas affected, and the riveting. On port side fifteen plates were set up, some of them so badly that they had to be removed and straightened ; on the starboard side eleven plates were affected. A great many frames and floor-plates were straightened, and a great deal of riveting-work done. The strakes of plates affected were K, A, B, C, —K being the garboard strake. The tanks were recemented and tested after completion of repairs. The damage was mostly confined to tankspaces. The whole of the extensive repairs was carried out to the satisfaction of the Department's Surveyor at Dunedin. • On the 18th September, on a voyage from Wellington to Patea, this vessel grounded on the Patea Bar through there being insufficient depth of water. She floated off on the 20th September. The vessel was docked at Lyttelton and surveyed, when it was found that, with the exception of a few loose rivets, the vessel had received no damage. A new propeller-blade was fitted. On a voyage from Whangarei to Auckland, on the 19th September, the combustion-chamber of the main boiler of this vessel began to leak very badly. A survey was made at Auckland, when it was found that a defect had developed at the back landing of the starboard furnace. The defective portion was cut out. This vessel was on a voyage from Lyttelton to Greymouth on the 16th August. When about forty miles from Lyttelton the crank-shaft broke in the after bearing, and considerable damage was also done to the engine-bedplate. The vessel was returning to Lyttelton under sail when she was picked up and towed into port. A new bedplate and a new Crank-shaft were fitted. On the voyage from Wellington to Patea, on the 24th September, as this vessel was crossing the bar at Patea she touched ground just outside the Western Spit wall. She then went ahead a little, and drifted between the Western Spit wall and the wooden wall. When 50 tons of cargo had been discharged, an attempt was made to get the vessel off at 1 p.m. on the same day, which proved successful. She proceeded to the wharf at Patea. It was found on survey that she was leaking slightly. Temporary repairs were effected at Patea to enable the vessel to proceed to Wellington to go on the Patent Slip. Several defective hull-plates were cut out, frames straightened, and new plates fitted. Repairs to propeller were also effected, and several rivets throughout the hull renewedSome time during the voyage of this vessel from Liverpool to New Zealand the crown of the centre furnace in the forward starboard boiler partially collapsed. The furnace was set up by pressure in Port Chalmers to the satisfaction of the Surveyor. Whilst berthing at New Plymouth on the 24th October, on a trip from Onehunga, the vessel collided with the wharf. The hull-plating was severely dented above the main deck and in a line with the forecastle ports. The fourth and sixth frames from the bow were buckled, and the fifth frame broken. The frames were cut out from the main deck up and renewed. The damaged hull-plating was removed and straightened. No damage was done to the vessel below the water-line. At 1.45 a.m. on the 7th October this vessel was on a voyage from Wellington to Greymouth. When eighteen miles north of Cape Foulwind the low-pressure-crank pin bolts broke, causing considerable damage to the main engines. The low-pressure cylinder was cracked round the bottom flange for a length of 4 ft. The piston and junk-ring were broken, and the piston-rod bent. The circulating dis-charge-pipe was broken off at the neck of the flange. The condenser was cracked on front side at the after end for a length of 2 ft. The vessel reached Wellington under easy steam, where all defects were made good to the satisfaction of the Surveyor. !ept. 22 Port Chalmers .. ,, Sept. 26 .. ,, Kapiti Lyttelton • lept. 21, 29 ,, Ngapuhi Auckland Lug. 17; Oct. 1 ,, Petone Lyttelton iept. 29 .. „ Mima Wellington let. 12 ,, Oswestry Grange Port Chalmers .. let. 28 „ Takapuna ..

Kaituna Wellington During the voyage of this vessel from Dunedin to Greymouth, at 9.40 p.m. on the ]2th October, all the propellerblades were stripped off. At midnight she was picked up by s.s. " Charles Edward " and towed to Westport, arriving on the 15th October. The vessel was tipped at the stern at the Westport wharf, and four new propeller-blades fitted. When the vessel arrived in Wellington on the 20th October her stern was again tipped up at the Railway Wharf, when the spare propeller-shaft and a solid propeller were fitted. On the 19th October, on a voyage from Wellington to Patea, this vessel is supposed to have struck a submerged spar in the vicinity of Cape Terawhiti, resulting in the hull being pierced on the starboard side. On placing the vessel on the Patent Slip at Wellington, it was found that there was a deep scratch along the hull-plating on the starboard side, terminating in a rectangular hole, 8 in. by 4| in., piercing the hull into the forward hold, about 3 ft. forward of the stokehold bulkhead, and about 6 ft. from line of keel. A similar scratch recently made was discovered on the port side in about a line with the foremast along the bottom ; also about 6 ft. from the line of keel, but no special damage was done here beyond the starting of a few rivets. The vessel also showed signs of having touched something on the keel immediately under stern-post. The propeller had also lost one half-blade. A patch about 2 ft. square was riveted over the hole in the hull, a shoe 4 ft. long fitted on keel forward of propelleraperture, and the loose rivets renewed in various parts of the hull. A new propeller was also fitted. At 5.30 p.m. on the 18th September, on a voyage from Wellington to Suva, the tail-shaft broke at a part about 3 ft. from the stern-post in the stern-tube. The stern-tube was drilled and split open, and a Thompson's patent coupling fitted and clamped over the broken shaft. The vessel returned to Auckland, where a new stern-tube, sternbush, and propeller-shaft were fitted. A spare propellershaft was placed on board. On a trip from Whangarei to Auckland, on the 25th October, and when between Takatu Point and Rodney Point, the propeller-shaft broke inside the stuffing-box, fracturing the stem-tube. The vessel anchored, and was later taken in tow by the s.s. " Paeroa." On the vessel's arrival at Auckland, a new propeller-shaft and stern-tube were fitted. When crossing the Patea Bar on her way from Wellington to Patea, on the 3rd November, this vessel touched the ground at 5 p.m., and remained fast until the 7th November. She was got off by means of hawsers carried to the breakwater and by the use of her own machinery. When the vessel arrived in Wellington she was placed on the Patent Slip for survey. Some forty rivets were found to be loose. The rudder-stock, which was twisted, was straightened, and the defective rivets renewed. On the voyage from Newcastle, N.S.W., to Wellington, this vessel's propeller became loose, caused probably by the engines racing heavily during the bad weather which she enoountered. On arrival at Lyttelton the propeller was taken off and refitted to the propeller-shaft. This vessel left Wellington for Nelson at 8 p.m. on the 14th December, and shortly after leaving broke her starboard thrust-shaft just inside the after collar. The appearance of the shaft showed that there had been an old flaw, which, just prior to the break, had extended about three-fourths through the shaft. A new end was welded on the shaft, the thrust-collars turned and fitted to former bearing, and a new set of ooupling-bolts lilted. At 7.23 a.m. on the Kith December, about fifteen miles north of Westport, on a voyage from Westport to Nelson, the port-propeller shaft broke at the large part of the taper, the propeller being lost. The low-pressure-valve spindle was bent and the guide-bracket broken through the racing of the engine when the shaft broke. A new propellershaft and a new propeller were fitted. The damaged portions of the engines were effectively repaired. On the 31st December, at 5.15 p.m., whilst on a voyage from Auckland to Wellington, this vessel went aground in Auckland Harbour. She floated off without assistance, and proceeded to Wellington, where the vessel was surveyed. It was found that no damage had been done affecting her seaworthiness. At 8.30 p.m. on the 11th January this vessel was lying alongside No. S Quay, Auckland. A fire broke out in the main saloon, which destroyed the fittings and upholstery. The damage to the saloon was made good. The hull of the vessel sustained no material damage. Oct. 24 „ Kapiti Wellington Oct. 12-30 .. ,, Whangape ..

Ngatiawa Auckland On a trip to Auckland, on the 30th December, when attempting to cross the Opotiki bar, the vessel grounded on the Spit. She floated off on the 6th January, when the tides made, and upon arrival in Auckland on the 7th January was docked and surveyed. It was found that the only damage done was the loosening of a few rivets about the centre of the hull. The stern bushes had been scoured out by the action of the sand while the vessel was on the bar. New lignum-vitae was fitted into the stern bush, and other necessary repairs to the vessel were effectively carried out. Whilst proceeding from Whangarei to Auckland, on the 14th January, this vessel broke her crank-shaft through the, web of the after crank in a line with the crank-pin. A new web was made and shrunk on, the shaft straightened, and other defects made good. On the 17th January, on a voyage from Patea to Greymouth, the main steam-pipe fractured at the neck of the flange. The vessel returned to Nelson under reduced steam, where the necessary repairs to the pipe were effected. An hydraulic test of the pipe was made to double the workingpressure before being put on board. This vessel was lying at Auckland wharf on the 17th January when a fire destroyed the saloon fittings and upholstery. The fire was apparently caused by the upsetting of a kerosene-lamp in the saloon. The necessary saloon-fittings wore replaced. The hull of the vessel sustained no material damage. The owners of this vessel desired a survey to be made of the donkey boiler on board. On the 18th January a piece was blown out of the bottom of the firebox, leaving a hole 2 in. in diameter. The boiler was surveyed, when itwas found that the firebox bottom plate was very thin and defective over a large area. The outer shell-plate was also in such a condition that it would not warrant a new firebox being fitted to the boiler. A new donkey boiler was therefore put on board, and the old boiler condemned. This vessel did not have a New Zealand certificate. On the 19th January, whilst entering the Patea River on a trip from Wellington, this vessel went aground on a sandy bottom with the tide ebbing. She remained in an upright position until floated oft" next morning. • On her return to Wellington the vessel's hull was surveyed, when it was found that no damage affecting her seaworthiness had been sustained. This vessel was lying at the Queen's Wharf, Wellington, on the 24th January, when the auxiliary steam-pipe, which is also the main steam-pipe to the cold-air freezing-machine, split. The fracture extended some 3 in. around the pipe at the neck of the flange. The defective portion of the pipe was repaired. This pipe, together with the whole length of the steam-piping, was then subjected to an hydraulic-pressure test equal to double the workingpressure. The test proved satisfactory. Just after the vessel left the Bluff on her voyage to Dunedin, on the 25th January, she touched some unknown obstruction, which resulted in a leak in No. 5 water-ballast tank, and on the starboard side. A survey was made of the inside of the tank, and it was discovered that a hull-plate was cracked for a distance of 11 in. between the third and fourth floor-plates from the after end of the tank. A plate was bolted to the outside of hull-plating over the crack, and cemented up inside the tank. This made the vessel seaworthy, and she was permitted to proceed on her voyage. Whilst crossing the Tairua Bar on the 15th January, on her way to Auckland, this vessel was struck by a heavy squall which drove her on a rock. Thirteen plates on her bottom were broken. Two longitudinal wooden stringers 18 ft. by 9 in. by 6 in. and thirteen new planks of various lengths from 8 ft. to 12 ft. by Bin. by 2 in. were fitted. The whole of the bottom of the vessel was caulked, and other necessary repairs were effected at the Port of Auckland. On the 3rd February, whilst berthing alongside the Town Wharf at Wanganui, after a voyage from Westport, this vessel ran into the stern of the s.s. " Huia." The port hawse-pipe on the " Gertie" was fractured. Repairs were effected to the " Gertie " to enable the vessel to run until a new hawse-pipe was made. This has since been fitted to the satisfaction of the Surveyor. On the 22nd February, on a voyage from Kawau to Auckland, the port crank-shaft broke in No. 4 main bearing. On arrival at Auckland a survey was made, when it was found that the forging of the shaft had been faulty. The spare crank-shaft was fitted after being thoroughly examined.

It was thought to be due to straining, through the heavy gales the vessel encountered. On arrival at Port Chalmers she was placed on the slip for examination. It was found that the leakage was caused through two defective butts, one on each side, abreast of the mainmast in the fourth plank below the shear strake. The necessary repairs were carried out to the satisfaction of the Surveyor. On the night of the 25th March, on a trip from Kaikoura to Lyttelton, this vessel came into collision with the s.s. " Storm" at sea. The bow was very much damaged. On arrival at Lyttelton temporary repairs to the stem were made and completed, to enable the vessel to proceed to Wellington to undergo her annual overhaul and survey. a r. 2 6; April 1 S.s.
