FERRY BOAT ADRIFT
TEMPORARY BREAKDOWN OF ENGINES PASSENGERS NOT ALARMED Quite unperturbed, 50 passengers on the ferry steamer Makora waited | while the vessel drifted for half an hour after midnight last night. The Makora was crossing to Devonport and the engines broke down off Stanley Bay. Repeated whistles brought the vehicular boat out from Devonport, but just as it reached the drifting steamer the engines were started and assistance was unnecessary. It was a still night, there being no j wind and the boat made little movement. It was not carried dangerously | near to the shore and the passengers j readily saw that there was no need j for alarm.
