STRANDED SHIP LISTS ON ROCKS.—This stern view of the Wanganella shows the list to starboard developed by the liner since she struck Barrett’s reef, Wellington, on Sunday night. Also shown are the two heavy hawsers run out at the stern and attached to mushroom anchors. In efforts to pull the Wanganella off the reef the pull exerted by the ship’s machinery on these anchors will greatly augment the power of the tugs.
