The Harbour Board tug Toputai, with several members of the board and other interested gentlemen, went out to the scene of the disaster to-day. The vessel presented rather a desolate appearance, but was as firm as a rock, aud seemed to be down at the bows, or else resting on something very solid at the stern. The waves were washing np against her side and throwing spray on to the decks forward, but she stood immovable. The salvage party seems to Rave a pretty stiff problem confronting it, but until the diver has completed his survey, there can be nothing more than conjecture as to the. extent- oftfte vessel's injuries.
