According to latest advices the cargo salved in good order from the stranded Rangatira amounts to 3000 tona, and there are another 4000 tons on board in an undamaged condition. The vest of the cargo is affected by water. As the vessel is in a serious position, the salvaging is proceeding slowly. The Otago Daily Times says that 'the point which is troubling local consignees is whether the salved cargo will be sold at Capetown or whether it will be brought on. As the matter of securing a vessel to carry the salvaged cargo is one surrounded with many difficulties at the present time, it seems to be more than likely that the goods will be auctioned at Capetown.

TAICAPUNA REPLACES MAPOURIKA

It has been definitely decided hy the Union Company that the Takapuna will take up the Mapourika's running in the Wellington-Greymonth, via ports, service during the latter vessel's absence. The Takapuna was brought in from the stream at Wellington on Thursday and berthed at the Clyde Quay wharf to prepare her for recommissioning. An endeavour is being made to have the Takapuna ready to sail from Wellington next Wednesday.
