STRANGE VIBRATION
BISHOP BENNETT’S STORY. AUCKLAND, September 3, The Right Rev F, A. Bennett, Bishop of Aotearoa, who was a passenger by the Tahiti, returned to Auckland by the Tofun this afternoon. In the course of his story, he said : “As soon as the Tahiti left the wharf at Wellington, I noticed that the vessel seemed to be vibrating a great deal. I mentioned the fact to several of the other passengers, including Sir Hugh; Allen, and they said that they thought, that the ship was vibrating a good deal J The movement was quite distinct from the motion of the sea. It was suffi-J ciently bad to make writing and reading difficult, while the water spilled . from the glasses at the dinner table. ] Members of the ship’s company said that the Taihti was well known for the vibration o ; f her engines, and'apparently they did not think anything of it. The vibration did not appear to become any worse after leavingWelington, bqt it certainly did not slacken at all, and some of us tliought it strange. I have travelled on several other vessels, but have never experienced anything like the vibration that was felt on the Tahiti.”
