THE STRANDED KAIPARA.
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, January 16. The Kaipara still lies in Rangitoto Channel, her bows aground, aud the stern out of water. The work of discharging cargo, which is estimated at one hundred and forty thousand pounds, was proceeding all day, several smaller shiploads of cargo being brought back to the wharves. Two divers examined the vessel yesterday and to day, uiie of whom reports that the vessel is torn for a considerable distance on the starboard sid?, and a hole on the bilge 4ft by sft. The rivets are torn out, and some plates are pushed in. It will probably take a good deal of work to repair the vessel. Further descents were made tu-day and the work of temporarily repairing the ship with a view of getting her into dock was begun.
Members of the Harbour Board and the Harbourmaster, interviewed, state that Auckland's harbour is perfectly safe. Many theories as to the grounding of the vessel have been advanced all differing widely.
