THE TURAKINA.
By Telegraph--Press Association. ' WELLINGTON, October 6." r The Union Company's moveable ten-inch pump was placed in- the Turakina to-day. Steam was supplied by the tug Terawhiti alongside. This afternoon the forehold is still two-thirds full of water. The No. 2 hold is half empty. The vessel still rests on the bottom of the harbour. It is not certain that the butter cargo is irretrievably dan aged. It is now being stored in *;he Harbour Board sheds for inspection. Dozens of drays have been engaged all day carting away flax from' the ship. Some of the water pumped into the vessel on Friday night found its way to the stokehold which Wets flooded to a depth of three feet on Saturday. This has now been redjced to a few inches.
