Repair

From Our Own Correspondent.

Rarotonga, Oct. 15

WHILE she was off the Island of 'Atm, the tail shaft of the motor schooner “Tiare Taporo” seized, and was un able to complete her voyage around the Lower Cooks and returned under sail to Rarotonga.

At first, it was thought that it would be necessary to sail to the Tahiti slip, to repairs. But the combined efforts of Captain Cambridge, Engineer Story and the crew accomplished a neat feat of engineering, with the ship in the water, and in a short time the old Tiare” was ready for sea again.
