Grey was taken ill, and was operated on by the chief officer, Mr. J. D. Lundie. When the vessel arrived at Rarotonga, Captain Grey was removed to the hospital, where he is still a patient. Mr. Lundie assumed command and the other officers were moved up a step accordingly. When the Waipahi left Rarotonga Captain Grey was progressing satisfactorily and well on the way to recovery.
