"(By Telferaph.—Press Association.) ON S.S. TYRONE. SOME SUCCESSFUL WORK. Dunedin, October 27. Diver Millar and his. assistants have been very successful with salvage operations in connection with tho Tyrone during the past couple of days, cargo of an estimated value of about £1600 having been taken out and dispatched to Port Chalmers. The cargo brought into port to-day included raw and boiled linseed oil, white lead, putty, sheep dip, whisky, and other commodities, all apparently as good as on the day it was shipped. Further operations are being pushed aloug, and, given a reasonable share of favourable weather, it is probable that practically the whole of tho cargo will be salvaged. The rumour that a small portion of the cargo had been salvaged by unauthorised persons : is warmly resented by .those, in charge of operations, while the increasing vigilance of the Customs and police officials stationed on the shore at the scene of : the wreck makes any $uoh attempt- extremely hazardous.
