Raising the Taranaki.— Yesterday afternoon we observed in Mr. Barraud’s shop, Lambton Quay, a water-color painting of this vessel as she lay in Bowden’s Bay, Queen Charlotte Sound, after being raised to the surface of tho water. Any person who has visited the place would recognise the pretty land-locked bay at once. The outline of the hills, and the calm placid waters of tho Sound form a good subject for a picture, and they have been most artisticallyj treated by Mr. Barraud, Tho drawing gives a good idea of the process adopted by Messrs. Seager and Thirkell for' the raising o.f this vessel; which has already been described in this paper.— lndependent.
