Oo.'s Kowhai, which arrived at Onohunga this morning from Qreymouth. met the full force of ..the gale of the • week-end, and she' was damaged extensively by tho seas which washed over her. She left Greymouth at 0.45 a.m. on Sunday last, and from then until she passed C«pe farewell at,s p.m. on Sunday the weather was moderate. About six o'clock sho ran into a strong sonth-west gale, accompanied by heavy seas. Tho water washed oior tho dcoks and carried away the hatch covers on tho for'ard deck. The crew were obliged to leave thoir quarters, theso being flooded, and tho captain's cabin, tho saloon, and tho stewards' rooms wero similarly" inundated. Tho stokehold also had. its sharo of tho sea and was flooded. All the accommodation on Iho deck suffered from the heavy sea, and small fittings wero carried away. QTJHEN OF THE SOUTH RECOMMIKSrONS. Yesterday tho Queon of tho South, which has been laid up for somo considerable time, partly owing to tho coil strike and la.tely owing to tho fact toot gho wiih undergoing very extensive overhaul and cleaning, has been rccommissioncd. She left for Faxton on her first trip yesterday. Captain liu-vey has again token charge of the vessel, and. ho lias Mr. W. Brlgden ns mate and Mr. G. A. Pearson as engineer. GANGWAYS ON SHIPS. Tlin muster of tho Jlnko, Samuel Jones, was charged at tho Police Court at Auckland on Monday with failing to fix a net or sailcloUi under tho gangway. Mr. Allan J ( iloody, for tho defenco, said that before dealing with facts ha wished to argue a point of law. Bo submitted that tho proceedings should havo been taken by tho harbourmaster instead of by the police, and that, wheroas tho general Harbour Regulations■ provided for tho filing of a gangway, they mado no provision for tho filing of a net or sailcloth. Th-> by-la.w did provide for net or sailolor.fi, but conned contendod that as tho regulations supersede tho by-law, and tho Marino Department., which had framed tho regulations, had not seen fit to provide for a not or sailcloth, the by-law ytea ultra vires. Hia .Worship, after hcarinc further jugumont. reserved his decision. ANNIVFJISAIIT Ofc' TIMABU WJIECKS."
