THE INDRABARAH.

[Per Press Association.] Marton, May 1-1. This morning the Indrabarah was ir practically the same position, though now she is three parts broadside or to the shore. The smoke rising straight up indicates that there is nc wirtd, and though the sea is very rough, it shows signs of abating. There are three connections by rope now with the shore, and messages are being transmitted by this means instead of semaphoring. No tugs are in sight yet, hut evidently the Terawhiti is expected, as she coaled at Castlecliff yesterday, and has all the necessary gear. The sea was too rough yesterday to get near The crew is ashore, and in good spirits. The day is fine, with sunshine. I TOLL OF RANGITIKEI BIGHT.
