THE STRANDED BARQUE.
CARGO TO BE DISCHARGED. (By Telegraph. Press Association.) WELL!NX,TOX. Thursday. The hull of the barque that was stranded at Wellington Heads on Monday night has been undergoing examination by a diver during the last two days, and it has been found that the damage will prevent the. vessel sailing for another port. Therefore all cargo will be discharged here, and the barque taken on the patent slip. The vessel is 800 tons larger than any vessel previously taken on the slip, but it is believed she can be accommodated, though it may mean that the Queen's Drive will be blocked at that point.
