A, combined attempt will be made at noon, Some cargo was thrown overboard yester* day, and to<day a crane is being rigged to sling the wool ashore, the vessel being' near enough for this operation, A. stiff gale from the sea blew for a few hours last night, but fortunately the sea did not increase, The steamer is principally held on the port side, and at the stem post.
