The Minister of Marino has directed the Collector of Customs at Auckland to hold a Magisterial inquiry into the collision between the coastal steamers Taniwha and Waimarie, which occurred near Ponui lighthouse, Auckland, on Wednesday evening. Both steamers were running between Auckland and Pacroa, and met in. the Channel at its narrowest point. At the moment of the collision the bow of the Taniwha struck the Waimarie on the starboard quarter, knocking in the planking between two posts and leaving a- depression a few inches deep. Fortunately the "damage was at somo height above the water. The Taniwha was practically undamaged. and both, steamers wont on their way - without stopping.
