Efforts were made to get her off, bat as the tide was falling, this was not accomplished until nooa today, when, having been lightened by pumping some 350 tons out of her forward ballast tank, she was towed hi deep water, and left for Wel-

lington at 12.45 p.m. The point on which she stranded is perfectly smooth and sandy, so that beyond a few hours* detention she has not suffered any damage.
