THE VESSEL'S POSITION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier, Yesterday. Reliable advice has reached Napier concerning the position of the Tongariro cargo. -It can be salved at low tide, but at high tide occasionally there is a heavy swell which prevents preparations for a few hours. The wind being from the north quarter since the wreck has prevented the vessel breaking up. A 1 fair amount of cargo lias been removed. Another big crack has appeared in the vessel. Salvage of the bull is hopeless. Captain Plunkett, Lloyd's surveyor, inspected the wreck to-day. •' WATERSIDE WORKERS' GRIEVANCE. Napier, Yesterday.
