THE TAINUI INQUIRY.
DANGER. OF BENZINE CARGOES. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Oct. 17. At the Tainui inquiry Captain Daniel Bonner, master of the coaster Mana, gave evidence that the Mana carried benzine cargoes similar to those on the Tainui. The Mana was an iron vessel. He was formerly master of the Tainui, and carried benzine cargoes in both holds on occasions. He never put ironwork on top of benzine ca/go. The officers were the responsible parties for the loading. No boats were free from risk when carrying benzine, but on the Tainui there was more risk than in a vessel properlyconstructed for carrying oil.
