THE ARAHURA COLLISION.
SALVAGE OPERATIONS UNSUCCESSFUL. By Telegraph.—Press Association. 1 Gisbome, vast Night. ' Salvage operations on the Arahura have, so far, proved unsuccessful, and the vessel has settled down into the sand until the deck is level with the water. The tug Terawhiti arrived at 12.40 thin morning, and went alongside the Arahura an hour later. The night was spent in making preparations and pumping started after dawn. The Arahura's bow appears to have lifted slightly, but the results of pumping, so far, seem to indicate that there is a large hole in the vessel's bottom which is not yet located. Better progress is expected to be made at low water. The weather, fortunately, is beautifully calm and fine. LINER ARRIVES AT AUCKLAND. ' Auckland, Last Night. The liner that collided with the Arahura anchored here at 4 a.m. to-day. She will probably go alongside the dock wharf to-morrow.
