THE PORT CHALMERS BAR.

The Bumping of the Siveedlsh Barque Monarch.

[BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

CHRISTCHURCH, this day. An enquiry Was held yesterday, at the Custom-bonse, Lyttelton, into the accident to the Swedish barque Monarch, while crossing Port Chalmers Bar on Saturday last. The master of the vessel, in his evi dence, said the pilot came en board at 4 p.m., and took charge of the ship. The tug Flacky came to the ship's side at 6.15 a.m. on the 31st Before that time had already told the . pilot tha 1 did not like the appearance of the weather, and disliked the idea «f putting to sea under the liccunisiances. lhe wind was from S.S.E. The pilot, in speaking of the probable condition of the bar, was of opinion that there ought to be no danger, us he had ordered three balls to be hoisted at the Taiaroa Head signal station should jjie bar bs in any way doubtful, .as no signal was shewn he wished in any case to weigh, and proceed down towards the bar, so hb to judge for himself, tie insisted on being permitted to take the vessel over if he deemed the bar fit to be crossed, explaining that there would be no end to the talk regarding the capabilities of tho pilots or their lack of energy, should the ship be do talutd without reasinab'e cause. 1 left the matter in the pilot's hands, but warned him not to expose the ship to any risk if doubt ful about the condition of the bar, as I would rather wait weeks than have the vessel touch the ground. The pilot seeing the steamer Wait aid coming in passing close to us, hailed Che master and asked if there was much a well on the bar, and re ceived the reply "no." He immediately gave tho order to weigh anchor aud for the tug to tow. She was fastened alongside of the ship on the port side, and towed us in that manner till we arrived as far as tha lightship. The signal. M.L.F., meaning " wait for high water," was shown from the Taiaroa signal station, which was acknowledged, and the tug in consequence ceased to tow, A little Jater on, a boat was observed coming towards the ship from the Taiaroa, ia which Pilot Pattou was recognised, and ths tug was made to go slowly towards Him. He came on board at 7.45 a.m., and was of opinion that the bar did not look dangerous, but that it wa« too early jet to cross over. Having stopped the speed for about a quarter of an hour, and after consulting with Pilot Patton, Pilo: Kelly made up his mind that he wou'd attempt to take the ship over, orderiug tiie tug to go forward before the bow to recei> c (he ship's tow-rope, lie also ordered the lower topsails to be set. Pilot l'niton recommended him to have the jibs set as well, which was ordered and done. As we came down towards the bar Pilot Patton observed that the ocean swell appeared to have increased in size since he left Tuiaroa for the puopose of meeting tha ship, and some breakers showed to the north of the fairway or channel. Tne time was now 8.15 a.m. Suddenly the forefoot bf the vessel struck a-grouud, though not vir^ severely, but another very hard bump
