While with her. lie encountered several heavy gales. He did not believe that she went on a reef. The Adelaide Company's superintending engineer stated that the Y'ongala's stability had been thoroughly tested. He did not think her loss was due to a breakdown of the machinery, which wathe strongest lie had seen on the Atistualian coast. She was registered in the highest class at Lloyd's. Other former officers of the Yongala described her as the finest sea boat they had ever been in.
