Wood yesterday morning succeeded in righting this vessel. There was a great crowd present when she turned gently over, and floated right side up once more. Her appearance created great Interest, and many speculations were made as to whether any of the bodies of her unfortunate crew would be found aboard. Hardly an atom ot gear was left on her deck, and no doubt she had been clean swept by a heavy sea. The foremast seems to have dropped out of the step, and the main is broken off about three feet from the deck. The stump of the bowsprit alone is left, and the port bulwarks are nearly all swept away ; but the starboard except amidships are nearly all left. The hull of the vessel seems little, if at all, injured by its long submersion in the sea. She was pumped out at 2 p.m, and the remains of a man were found in the cabin. They were in an advanced stage of decomposition, and were conveyed to the morgue. THE BOEDER CHIEF. Early yesterday morning this ship, which anchored off Rhodes’ Bay on the previous evening at 8 p.m, was boarded by the health officer, Dr Donald, who went off in the Customs steam launch, and soon passed the ship. Proceeding on board, we found the passengers all looking well and happy, and they expressed themselves satisfied with the food, accommodation, and treatment they had received during the voyage. The berths tor secondclass, intermediate, and steerage passengers, were situated between decks, under the main hatch, and were lofty and airy. The ship has no poop, but a house on deck aft, and is a clipper built iron vessel of 1011 tons register, owned by Henry Adamson, junior, and Co, of London, and brings a large general cargo, consigned to the New Zealand Shipping Company. Built in 1870, and classed 100 Al, she has been employed in the colonial trade since being built, and has earned the reputation of carrying her cargoes well and making fast passages. She brings a variety of stock, a detailed account of which will be found in another portion ot our columns.
