THE INDRABARAH.
Constable Sweeney, who has been on duty at the scene of the wreck, returned to Foxton last night. He states that the steamer is now about 100 yards closer inshore than she was when she first struck and is almost broadside on. Preparations are now being made for the first attempt at refloating her which will take place on the xst proximo, being the day on which the tides are the highest. At present there are three lines to the shore and the steamer is being held in position by means of mushroon anchors. It is calculated that the boat is embedded about seven feet in the sand. Communication with the shore is by means of a cage worked by the winch on the Indrabarah and by horses on the shore.
