THE VALMARIE.
CHANCE OF REFLOATING. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Nelson, Feb. 22. The Tutanekai arrived at Nelson this morning. Last night she anchored off the Valmarie. Captain Bollons reports that the vessel is high and dry, but in a good position stern on. The next spring tides would be 18 inches less than when the vessel stranded. Providing there is not much sea on and good anchors are out there is a possibility that the swell may take her off. The tides at the Spit are influenced by the wind. If a westerly blows the tides will be poor. The south-easterly winds were throwing sand all round the vessel. When the Tutanekai left the Opawa was standing by.
