THE INDRABARAH.
GEAR FOR THE BIG PULL,
lost evening was tho time appointed a pull" in connection with refloating tho Indrabarnh off tho Rangitikei. beach. Experts wero of the opinion that the prospects of getting tho big liner off wero favourable. If the Indrabarah was not actually got off tho beach it was considered that what would be accomplished in this direction would bo of material help during next spring tides. The Union Company's tug Terawhiti left Wellington for the scene of operations last evening. She had on board the second big six-lou mushroom anchor and a largo quantity of salvage gear, which arrived from Sydney by the Manuka yesterday. Inducted in the gear were a tlozen huge anchor shackles and 3500 feet of four and a half-inch wire hawser. The wiro ropo will be attached to the anchor when the latter is laid'by the Terawhiti, that is, provided tlio Indrabarnh has not already been floated. The Indrabarah Jias been heaving on the lines already attached to tho four anchors which have been laid seawards, and she hfis already been shifted a few feet. Captain Plunkett (Lloyd's Surveyor) and Captain Rniney (.Marine Superintendent for the Tvser Line) are still on board the stranded vessel.
