THE RONA
-• LATER REPORT. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 27. A stiff southerly is blowing but there is little water under the stranded Rona. At the best condition of th tide, there is about 11 feet where she lies. There is a nest of toothlike rocks all round. She is heading up harbour her stern pointing to the open sea. Seas are not breaking over her. At; daylight, the tug Pelican went out and at some risk succeded in taking off the ships company without mis. hap. The crew were brought to town and landed about 8 o’clock . Th© vessel was reported to be making water freely this morning. She is however, on a fairly even keel and as there is open water astern, the chances < if towing her off when the seas go down are fairlv good. ‘ WELLINGTON, This Day. The gale and sea having subsided, the prospects of saving the barque Rona are considered good. There are 14 inches of water in the hold. The coal cargo is being removed into lighters.
