NIAGARA WRECKAGE
LIFEBOATS COME ASHORE (By Telegraph.—Special to Tlmesi WHANGAREI, Monday As a result of the last storm on the east coast, a quantity of wreckage from the Niagara has come ashore. The two lifeboats that were cast adrift have come ashore. One boat is completely broken up, but the other does not appear to be greatly damaged. The heavy oil from the ship is still floating along close to the shore and i'n consequence the penquins are still suffering. Residents along the shore have attempted to rescue the birds, which are very tame, by washing the oil from their feathers.
