THE MAPOURIKA.
(BY TELEG RAPII —PRESS ASSOCIATION), Wellington, Last Night. Captain Daniels wired that a diver examined the Mapourika this morning. He found her very much knocked about in the forepart. There is a large hole underneath the fore-hatch, which it is impossible to get at from the outside. He intends fixing a temporary bulk-head with a view to displacing the greater part of the water, and allowing the vessel to float. There is now about six feet of water in the hold at low water.
The weather report from Greymouth states that a fresh north-wesi breezs is blowing, with a considerable sea on the bar and a slight fresh in the river. In her present position the Mapourika is fully exposed to the wind and sea from this direction, and if particularly violent she must incur great damage. Her position now is a serious one.
