LITTLE DOUBT OF EVENTUAL RESCUE
AUCKLAND, This Day. Arrangements have been made wjtlr Walshe Bros, to convey to the Banner, by aeroplane, the life : saving appliances received from Wellington. The Waiotahi returned at noon from Tryphena Bay. When she left there at 6 o'clock iii the morning, there were no fresh . developments.
It was quite impossible for the Waiotahi or the Katoa to.go to the ocean, side of the island. A tremendous sea was pounding on the coast there,, and the remains of' thfe Wiltshire must be standing an awful strain. However, it would take a lot to break ,downline construction pf the big ship. Although. those aboard might be uncomfortable, there was little doubt of then? even4iwl rescue. . .:■ .. The tug Awhiua could not get within a milo of the wreck owing to the raging surf. There were possibilities of disaster as long as the heavy weather lasted, but all chances were, in favour of a complete rescue.
The tug Awhina returned to,Tryphena from a visit to the, wreck at midday, having been unable to do anything; as the sea is still heavy and" the wind it blowing hard. - / ■
