LINER COMPLETELY UNDER WATER
POOR PROSPECTS FOR CARGO SALvORS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Napier, September 18. According to telephone advice.received in Napier, the wrecked steamer Tongariro is now completely under wator. Tho bow of tbe vessel, which clung to the rocks so long, suffered badly with the heavy weather, during the past few days. So the Tongariro is no more, and all that can .be seen at low tide are "the horns", of Bull Rook above tlie wator. Tho sea iii the vicinity is strewn- with wreckage, mostly timber; there is very --little cargo. 1 In conversation with a reporter, Mr. Cato, looal manager of tho New Zealand Shipping Company, expressed the opinion that thero would be little or no sound cargo,saved fronj tho sea. Ho stated that there was a large quantity of wood floating about near Bull Rock, comprising portions of the vessel, and other pieces of timber. Mr. Cato remarked that tlio vessel had broken up very quickly, while the rough bottom of the sea-bed in tho vicinity meant that, thero was very little possibility of saving any further cargo. He did not think any further efforts would be made by diving, as tho spot was too exposed."
