THE WAITARA COLLISION. ♦ The Waitara, which was in collision with the Hnrunui, sank in two minutes. The Hurunui’s boats rescued sixteen persons struggling in the water. Among these was a lady saloon passenger, to whom a sailor, who was also saved, had given his lifebelt. All the second-class and steerage passengers were lost. The captain of the Waitara was dragged on board the Hurunui by the aid of ropes. The Hurunui struck the Waitara end on, just in front of the saloon, on the starboard side. The survivors state that no crash was heard. The side of the Waitara gave way like cardboard. More of the passengers might have been saved, had a barque and steamer, seen near by, heeded the Waitara’s signal of distress.
