THE KIA ORA WRECK
Auckland, Yesterday
The Kia Ora inquiry continued to-day, Captain Stott, acting-agent for the Northern Steamship Company at Waitara, states he frequently saw De Wolfe while the steamer was at Waitara just previous to the wreck. Wolfe was apparently very bad with influenza but showed no sign of intoxication. He contradicted the statement that Wolfe, while at Waitara, was drinking with Captain Black!ock. Captain Attwood, Assistant Superintendent of the Mercantile Marine and surveyor of ships, said he surveyed the Kia Ora on April 16th, and satisfied himself that the requirements of the law had been complied with. William Haynes, second steward, denied that the women and children were left out in the open on the beach. He had heard nothing of the bankets being removed from a lady passenger. He saw no drunkenness aboard the Kia Ora and no bottles of liquor were taken to the officers’ cabins.
