OF the crew was lowered over the side,
| and passed rope under the rudder
(about six feet under the water), by
which heavy chain was placed into
position. On May "a Captain Colly got
his vessel under way, and decided to
make Auckland to have repairs effected
to her rudder.
The Kaiulani behaved remarkably
well under her jury rudder. On one
occasion she covered $50 miles a day,
| and on another 158 miles. The New
Zealand coast was sighted on May 20,
and from then till June IL the vessel
was beating about the Hauraki gulf
/ owing to contrary winds.
Captain Colly's fine achievement in
navigating the vessel to Auckland in
such difficult circumstances is highly
spoken of.
The kaiulani has been locked at
Auckland to have new rudder fitted
She viii also undergo general survey
at the same time. She is a handsome
steel bark of 1871 tons gross register,
and was built at Bath, Maine. Z. s. A.,
in 1899. She is Jointly owned by Messrs.
Il Williams, Dimond & Co., of San Fran
cisco, and Messrs. H. Hackfeld & Co,
of Honolulu. The Kaiulani has accom-
mediation for forty frst-class passen-
gers, and was previously engaged in the
Honolulu-San Francisco trade.

perfeld dived TO Investigate the injury
to the rudder. Captain Colly was on
the bridge at the time.
Soon after the first officer had gone
down the captain was Mortified to see
an immense shark swimming near the
surface of the water. Running to his
cabin, he seized Winchester rife and

peared, with such deadly effect that the
great fish kicked once or twice and then
, fioated, belly up, as dead as a door -nail.
When Chipperfeld came to the sur
face, he was ignorant of the peril to
, which he had been exposed. He will,
however, it Is safe to say, take no
, more chances with the terrors which
l haunt the blue water off the New Zea-
land coast.
