The vessel, after discharging her cargo, was placed in dry dock and a survey made of nor bottom. It was found that between fifty and sixty plates were bent, buckled, or damaged, and fully six of these were punctured by the impact against the sharp rocks. An inquiry into the grounding was held before the British Consul at San Francisco, but the regular nautical inquiry will take placo on the arrival of the vessel at Sydney.
