CREW HAVING A TRYING TIME. By 1 Telegraph—Press Association. Wanganui, Tuesday. It is reported that the Indrabarah made good use of yesterday's tides and by using her winches on the hawsers attached to the mushroom anchors laid by the Terawhiti succeeded in warping heryStern out to sea. Further attempts to warp the vessel off are to be made to-day, and much depends on, whether she can be moved by this means on her present draught. Owing to the rough weather the Terawhiti did not leave this morning to render assistance. The officers and men on the Indrabarah are having a most trying time owing to the rough weather, some of the former scarcely having slept owing to worry .and strain on their nerves.
