Waikanae beach improved sufficiently this morning to enable a start to be made with efforts to refloat the trawler Marion, which stranded on Thursday night. The vessel moved further up the beach during last night, but this morning a wire hawser was taken ashore, and it was hoped to refloat the vessel during high tide in the evening. The attempt, which was made by means of a cable from a kedge anchor and winch on the trawler, failed, al‘hough the vessel’s head was shifted 25 feet. She lies broadside on to the sea. Scoops were worked to-day, clearing the sand between the vessel and the sea. Another attempt will be made in the evening.
