THE MISSING “WARATAH.”

 

AN UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCH

 

INCREASING ANXIETY

 

Swift vessels have been dispatched in all likely directions during the past week in an effort to ascertain the whereabouts of the Blue Anchor liner Waratah, which left Durban on July 26 for Cape Town with 300 passengers on board, but so far no trace of her has been discovered. She is thus about sixteen days overdue. Messrs. W. Lund and Sons, the owners, have not yet lost hope that a breakdown in the machinery may have made the ship drift out of the course of ordinary traffic, and support for this view is found in the probability that had she foundered floating wreckage, which would have been easily identified, would have been encountered by this time. Naturally the utmost anxiety prevails, and the insurance rate, on news received yesterday and appearing on our “Cable” page, went up to 90 per cent. Prayers and hymns for those at sea were a feature at the services in all the Melbourne churches on Sunday.

 

A report from Durban that of a large quantity of coal the Waratah was known to have loaded at Natal from 250 to 300 tons were shipped on the bridge deck has not tended to increase underwriters’ confidence. Principal items in the cargo when she loaded at Sydney for London were 7800 bars of lead, over 400 bales of wool, and consignments of skins, tallow, leather, and timber, with a thousand boxes of butter for South Africa. Among the passengers was Lieutenant-Colonel P. Brown, commanding the Dorset Yeomanry. He intended to transship at Cape Town into a homeward-bound Union-Castle mail-boat. He embarked at Melbourne, accompanying his niece, Miss Lees, on a trip round the world. An old lady on board is Mrs. Wilson, who has been fifteen voyages with Captain Ilbury, of the Waratah. The captain called her his “right hand” in rough weather because of the help she gave when the passengers were invalided by continuous seasickness. The following embarked at Durban for England:

 

The Rev. Father Fadle [?Johannesburg}

Dr. Carrick

Mr. Turner and family

Mr. Stocken and family

Mr. Taylor and daughters

Mr. Donaldson

Mr. Govardo

Mr. Nicholson

Mr. Comte

Mrs. Sillery

Mrs. Ashe

Mrs. Press

Mrs. Lyon and infant

Mrs. Connolly and daughter

Mrs. Dawes and infant

Mrs. Bradley

Mrs. Adamson

Mrs. Petrie

Mrs. Dunn and children

 

Information furnished by the officers of the liner Guelph, which sighted the Waratah east of East London at 10 p.m. on July 27, shows that the latter was then eight hours late. Communication between the two vessels was attempted, but the signals were indistinct. The Waratah (says Reuter) was not flying signals of distress. Some sea captains scout the idea that the vessel could have sunk. They state that if she is drifting she would follow a south-westerly course at a gradually diminishing rate of speed – at first about 100 miles a day for three or four days, gradually dwindling to 30 miles a day.

 

In reply to a communication on the subject, the Admiralty informed the London Salvage Association that His Majesty’s ship Pandora reported on August 2 that she was proceeding to search for the missing steamer Waratah off Cape Agulhas Bank. Their lordships, however, telegraphed to the Cape further orders as to the continuance of the search and communicated the owners’ suggestion as to the probable drift of the vessel, assuming her to be disabled. This theory, it may be explained, is that of the Company’s experienced captains, and is to the effect that if the vessel were disabled she would have drifted with the current towards Cape Agulhas, where the current, which she would have followed, runs to the east. Assuming this explanation to be the correct one the vessel might have drifted far into the ocean, and an extended search becomes necessary.

 

The Pandora experienced extremely heavy gales during her search, which extended 300 miles south of East London, and covered an area of 250 square miles. Her commander is of opinion that, should the Waratah have broken down east of Cape St. Blaize, she must, if afloat, have been seen by H.M.S. Forte or H.M.S. Pandora.

 

According to a Central News correspondent, a statement has been made by an East London farmer to the police that, on July 26, his attention was attracted by a large steamer going west-ward, and rolling very heavily. When about 14 miles from East London the vessel stopped for about twenty minutes, and then began to retrace her course, but nearer the shore, afterwards disappearing. The steamer seemed to be in a distressed condition, and after he lost sight of her he saw three flashes, which appeared to be signals of distress. The farmer’s story is corroborated by others, but if he is correct in his date, the vessel he saw could not possibly have been the Waratah. The police, however, incline to the belief that he is mistaken as to the day.

 

The sister boat, the Geelong, and His Majesty’s ship Hermes, left Durban on Thursday to assist in the search. His Majesty’s ship Forte, which had just returned after having covered 1320 miles of search, left Simon’s Bay yesterday; and His Majesty’s ship Pandora renews her efforts by sailing from East London on Monday. If these vessels have agreed to work on a plan they will no doubt sweep the seas in the direction where the Waratah is likely, if she has broken down, to have drifted.

 

THE “HERMIONE” AGAIN AGROUND.

 

The Cruiser Hermione, which recently returned from the South African station, ran aground in the Humber at the end of last week. She was returning from an attack upon Paull Battery when she struck a mudbank. Signals were sent for assistance, and a Grimsby tug upon arrival found the cruiser’s stern high out of the water, her propeller showing. All the cruiser’s shells were taken out to lighten her. Next morning six Hull tugs arrived and succeeded in getting her off at high water. It is believed she has sustained little or no damage, but she will be dry docked for examination. It will be remembered that, as reported in South Africa of June 26, several of the Hermione’s officers were recently reprimanded by a court martial for having hazarded their ship, causing her to be stranded off the coast of Zanzibar in February.
