Upon t mtiuiry on board, it wac found that tho i stern gland had been cracked, tho tailshaft lining was damaged, and the conr denser had also sustained damage. Furj the.r inspection is to bn carried out today, when the tail shaft will bo drawn. To enable this to Iks done, the Fcliciana'B bows will bo placed deeper in tho water, and her stem allowed to coma right, out. i This "tinning." as it, i s called, will be ae- '. complishcd by pumping out tho after tanks clear of all water and filling up tho No. 1 forehold tank and peal:. Then tho propeller will be taken off and the tail shaft taken adrift, and pulled ia towards 0 the engines. Until this work has been. tloTje, it is impossible to ascertain the full extent of the damage tho vessel has (sustained.
