THE RESULT OF A COLLISION— THE RUAHINE DAMAGED.
When the Rnahine reached Wellington after her collision with the Beacon Grange at Las Palmas, there was very little external sign of damage. Th e hole had been neatly patched up with concrete. The extent of the damage was obvious in the steerage, where for some distance into the dining saloon there was a solid enclosure of heavy beams inside of which was about live tons of concrete. The repairs, though temporary, were* very effective, and the vessel was as thoroughly seaworthy as she was on her maiden trip to New Zeal anal. The upper photo shows the gap in the Knahine's quarter made by the colliding steamer, and the lower picture shows the rail and stanchions bent by the shock.
