"THE PENGUIN'S DEAD. BODIES BROUGHT- TO .WELLINGTON. SAD SCENE AT THE DRILL HALL. - 'ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL. Yesterday, a fair bluo sky overhead, and a fair sea,.which reflected tho bluo abovo; a gentle breeze from the 'south, flying gulls about,- and a passing steamer in the offing; below, a strip of sandy beach among the rocks; behind, razor-back spurs, and deep . gullies; over all, , the glory of an autumn morning, Theso were tho first impressions of a Tider, who topped tho riso of the coast hills near Terawhiti, and'drew rein to view the prospect. It was difficult to believe that throo nights back, in the blackness and fury of a howling 'southerly, a steamer had etruck whero the breakers gleamed out there in tho sunlight, slid back, and foundered, fathoms deep; and that along that fringe ofbeach, whose high-water fringe of seaweed , wound, "sinuously, round iron-bound bluffs end' shallow bays, thero had been strewn tho bodios J of the drowned, cast up by the flood tide.

Twff hundred yards furthor on lay the body of a well-dressed lady, who had" not been buffeted about to any extent. The third body we saw—that of a man—was about a . hundred ■ yards further on. ho more bodies were-in sight for, another two mUcs, where we found residents collecting them together. Going on further, we came across tho bodies of two of the little M'Guires, which had been placed above the reach of the waves at the cable station. After putting up our horses, we continued our journoy along the- bench. Rounding some rocks, wo found that-three bodies had just boon brought out of the water,by the residents. Theywere Mr. Shaw, Mr. W. H. Henry, and J. Bate. These were the last bodios which we saw, and where they were found would probably bo twelve miles from Island Bay. ' _' "During: the forenoon," continued Dr. M'Artliur,' "we saw the Terawhiti and another steamer out at sea., The sea was fairly highland there was no possible chance of working the shore. When'.we got back to the cable station, I communicated with_Mr. Kennedy, manager for the TJnion Steam Ship Company. ■■". I requested him to have, the bodies collected, so that, if the sea moderated, they-might be taken off. without delay, or, failing that, that' they might, be. conveyed overland on pack-horses early next morning. It is my opinion that everything has been done by the shipping' authorities, police, and residents that could be, done under tho circumstances. ' In every instance the bodies were, as,far-as possible, covered up. There is no truth in the statement that the bodies- were left, uncovered any longer than could be avoided.

AN EMERGENCY TELEPHONE. • One of the officers of the Telegraph Depart-ment-propounds a simple scheme by which direct communication might be made with the city in case of. future, disasters iii the vicinity of the Penguin wreck..' He, states that a telephone could be placed in'the cable station at Otorangi Bay, and a switch 'installed so that one of the cable lines could be used temporarily, establishing communication' at once with the City Exchange/ ; ,Mr.;'._M'Jlena-. men's homestead is two or three'miles distant, but'a good beach road connects the two places. '.Therefore, the officer thinks it would be advisable that the key of the cable station .should be left in the charge of Mr. M'Menamen. Had such a' connection been'possible on Saturday, a delay of about six hours would .have ;beeii: avoided in getting, assistance, out from town. The nearest telephone at propeut i» at Mftkara.
