All the cabins and doors on the starboard slfle have been stove in and the sea has started to rip o|f.. the hatches at the hatchways of Nos. 1, 2, and 3. The waves are to be seen washing up on the deck, and then finding their way dowax the hatchways into the holds. This afternoon thirteen officers (deck and engine room) and nineteen seamen from the Tyrone sailed by the Mbnowai for Wellington, where they will embark- op the Ruapehu for London. Cantab Tkjaumont (superintendent of Morcapfte Marine) has been very busy in the past few days arranging their passages.
