PORT NAPIER’S FIRE
GENERAL AVERAGE DECLARED PERCENTAGE NOT ANNOUNCED The Commonwealth and Dominion Line’s steamer Port Napier, which is on route from London with cargo for discharge at Auckland, Dunedin and Bluff, and passengers and mails for disembarkation at Auckland, is expected to continue her voyage from Suva to-day. The vessel is expected to reach Auckland next Monday. While the vessel was two days out of Pago Pago, a fire was discovered in numbers 4 and 5 holds, and the vessel put into the American port on August 26. Advice has now been received by the local agents, the Farmers’ Co-op. Auctioneering Company, that a general average is being declared on the vessel’s cargo. However, it will be toward the end of the week before the percentage, which will be declared, will be announced.
