THE WRECKED TONGARIRO.
DIFFICULTIES OF SALVAGE
Wellington, Last Night. The local manager of the New Zealand Shipping Company was advised to-night that the salvage of the Tongariro’s cargo presents grave difficulties owing to the fact that all goods must lie moved by hand and transferred to surf boats. No power is available on the ship. Fifty-one packages of bullion were -aved, and also live stock consisting of a bitch and live pups consigned to Wellington and a crate of canaries for Lyttelton. A peculiar position has arisen affecting the crew owing to the fact that the vessel’s articles are still aboard. Most of the crow are in Wellington, and want to go to new jobs, Iml they cannot sign on another ship till they sign off the Tongariro. The articles are expeeted here by next Tuesday.
If the sea keeps calm it is hoped that good progress will he made with the salvage, hut if the weather comes up from (he north or east the ship may slip off into deep water.
