Auckland, Last Night, The Triumph has been viewed by thousands to-da,. , as she lies in Mechanics Bay with heavy list to one side. The plan of repairing her is not yet decided on. The inquiry into the cause of the wreck was continued. Mr Williamson stated that since the Court last sat a now phase of the case had arisen in the fact of the steamer having been got off the rocks and brought into Auckland harbor. He therefore proposed tv re-examine the chief officer of the Triumph, in order to have the facts connected with the fluting placed on record. Thomas Owens, chief officer of the Triumph (recalled), deposed that since the date ot" last sitting of the Court he had been employed on board the Triumph u-sisting in the operations to get her off the rocks ; the vessel was yesterday morning got off, ami during the night was brought into harbor where she now lies. No external aid or apparatus was used to lift the ship in the shape of pontoons, lighters, or other appliances of that kind. Pumps were employed, but beyond that nothing was done except taking cut cargo and lightening her as much as possible. If these steps had been taken at first when the steamer went agro'ind, she would have been got off as readily. The Court adjourned decision till Monday.
