RY TELEGRA PH -PHEW ASSOCIATION

WELLINGTON, June 24. Arrangements were made to-day to send the Teranhiti, the Union Company's powerful tug, to Gisborne, to assist in the salvage operations on the Star of Canada. A number of powerful pumps will also be sent up by the Navna. Meantime the Tyser Company has made arrangements for the Star of India, which arrives here on Thursday next, to take up the Star of Cauada's loading.

GISBORNE, June 24. Gloomy prognostications were to be heard expressed on all sides in local shipping circles this afternoon regarding vhe situation and prospects of the illfated Star of Canada. The weather remained boisterous all the afternoon with occasional bursts of sunshine and frequent squalls. Since the mornin^ the vessel had subsided considerably by the head, and continues.to lie almost broadside on to the reef, with her bow to the eastward. The top of the propellors appears to be out of the water. The wind was still blowing from the south, but it was thought that the gale would blow out to-night, and probably the wind wou d veer more to the eastward, which would help the ship.
