"MACEDONIA'S" PREDICA

There was a good deal of specu lative gossip in Kowloon as to the precise reason why the P. and O. steamer Macedonia" remained at the. Kowloon Wharf though at the other steaners had moved out to anchorages One theory was that a pilot could not be secured and others said she could not get up steain because there was no coal or water aboard. Inquiries at the harbour office and at the offices of Messrs. Mackinnon, Mackenzie and Co., the agents, disclose that the reason the vessel did not move away was that her windlass was carried away as she was coming alongside the wharf and she had to stay there.She seemed throughout yesterday to be lying against the wharf quite snugly but if the seas had increas- ed her position would have been precarious and the wharf might have suffered damage.
