White Wings Vol I. Fifty Years Of Sail In The New Zealand Trade, 1850 TO 1900
Alarm of Fire
Alarm of Fire.
The voyage of the Anazi appears to have been eventful with misfortunes. She left Deal on November 4, and on the 14th of the same month a fire broke out in the storeroom, and as four tons of gunpowder were included in the cargo great anxiety was felt. Passengers and crew exerted themselves to the utmost to extinguish it (with totally inadequate appliances), and were ultimately successful.
Nothing of an eventful nature occurred on any of the other passages. Captain Hill, who made six voyages in the Anazi, subsequently commanded the Himalaya, visiting alternately Auckland, Wellington, and Dunedin.
