EXTRA EDITION. THE VENTNOR ENQIRY.
[by telegbafk— pbess association.] AUCKLAND, This Day. The enquiry into the loss of the steamer Ventuor was resumed this morning. Newls, the steward, said that Captain Ferry had a very bad cold, and looked ill just before the casualty. This may have given him an appearance of having been drinking. From Sunday morning till the vessel foundered on Tuesday, the Captain did not have an hour's sleep, and did not come down to meals. He was quite positive that the captain was sober when he left Wellington. Fraser, a fireman, deposed that he saw the captain the worse for liquor, and said that he wps staggering about the deck when the boats were being got ready for launching.
