The Buy of Plenty Times of Fsb. .5, gives the following particulsrs of the position of the vessel 11 Yesterday the operations of f pumpiog out the Taupo was conunencod at 11.45 o clock. A prize centrifugal pump, by Sims and Ransome, with a 16-horse power engm., which weighed about cieht tons, was rigged up on the upper deck amidships On the starboaxd side. This pump is the same that was used to pump out the Auckland docks, and the work of getting it on board and properly fixed was extremely laborious. Another pump of less power was also set up en the mam deck on the port side. The valves of both were lowered to the after-hold. A trial was first made with the bigger pump, which was set going at halfpast 11. It was found to gain on the water at the rate of an inch in 45 seconds, hut owing to some of the gear getting out of order, it had to be stopped, and the water rushed in again at the rate of about an inch in 20 seconds. At 10 minutes to 12 the smaller pump was started, the water not allowing the fires to be lighted sooner. It was found to gain on the water an inch in a minute and a half. At five minutes to 12 both pumps were started together, and were found to raise an inch in 40 seconds, hut this rate did not last very long. The large pump did not work very well, the basket on which, the valve was placed lying on coal, which interfered with the proper suetionpowerof thepump. After working for about half-an-hour, the rate of liftin'* was only about an inch in 80 or 90 seconds. At 1 o’clock about three feet of water had been pnmped out the after hold, the water in the engineroom being about 18 inches higher. At this time a perfect stream could he clearly seen running m from behind the fixed tank on the port side of of the upper hold, immediately m front of the engine room. Shortly afterwards all Hands were employed in removing the cargo that had been allowed to remain tinder water. This consmted of a number of cases of coifish and bales of hops, which were thrown overheard, and some cases of tinned meats. The pumi>s now worked more slowly, owing to the quantity of coal-dust in the water, but, by 2 o'clock, the shaft-tunnel, and the coala which were stowed on each side of it, was almost bare of water, and the operation of remov- • ing the latter was commenced, but it was found to ' he impossible, and all that could be done was to rake it away from the suction valves. At half-past ; two the keel of the vessel was found to be almost off the bottom, hut as the large 1 pump had to he stopped to shorten the ■ driving band, the water again gained a little. About half-past three it became apparent that the combined action of the pumps would be sufficient to float her; bat Captain Worsp con- j sidered it unsafe to venture into deep water, so 1 long as the large pump could not be made to work ( up to its extreme power. At this time it was only raising a third of the water it should do, and under these circumstances it was deemed advisable to telegraph to Auckland for & man who had had ex- J perience with it. .In the meantime the engineers . are again taking it to pieces tore-set the points, and, if possible, discover where the defect is, and it is Captain Worsp’s intention to try again next , ebb-tide, so that it is possible she may he floated ; in which case, the will be beached by the phot station. The depth of water taken out of her was : between three and four feet, and when at the lowest the hall conld be distinctly felt to rise and ; fall slightly with the motion of the waves.” ' The following statement will give a fair idea of i the Tanoo’s exact position: —" Tauranga, Feb. 19,1879. * We. the undersigned, being called upon ' to hold a survey on the s.s. Taupo, as she low lies ashore at Mount Mongonui, entrance to Tauranga harbour, report as follows: —Position of ship lies midway between beacon on Stony Point and outer black buoy, i of cable-length off shore. Bearings of beacon by standard compass: S.E.byE; black buoy, N.W. by N. 4 N.; ship’s head, S.E., little easterly. Depth of water: Forward, 13 feet; 16 ; feet aft at low water. Ship on rooky ground, from stern-post to as far forward as fore-part of fore- : hatch, from that forward the water deepens a little, and she does not touch; after-hold and engine-room full of water to same height as water ontside; seams of deck slightly started in after gangways jno other ’ signs of straining visible; forehold perfectly dry; l no signs of bulkhead giving way. We believe the ship can be floated into safety by pumping the after- ; hold dry with steam appliances, and discharging the coal from aft; the water in the after-hold rifeither rising or falling as fast as in the engineroom. We are of opinion that the water in the after-hold can be kept down by good pumps.— (Signed) Arthur H. Ausies (Master Xancashire : Lass), Joseph Ellis.”

The Annabel, brig, 318 tons, cleared at New York on Deo. 21, for this Port and Auckland. LATEST FEBIOHT3. The tonnage loading on the berth at London, Jan. 16, for India, China, and the Cape of Good Hope, amounted to 47,658 tons, and for Australia and Hew Zealand to 30,945 tons. London, Jan. 17. There is but little change, if any, to report with regard to the position of the freight market in general, tonnage, however, being still required for loading on the berths in London for Cape ports, India, Java, the Australian and New Zealand Colonies. Coal freights ore also steady, and rates firmly maintained. Homeward freights from the East continue much depressed, and show no signs for any immediate improvement. • MARITIME NEWS. The G. B. S., bound from London to Canterbury (New Zealand), put into Lisbon on Jan. 10 with loss of fore and main topmasts, and loss of some sails ; she is reported to have jettisoned a portion of cargo. The Loch Sunart, ship, of and from Glasgow for Melbourne, ran athore on the night of Jan. 11 on Sknllmartin Beef, opposite -Ballywnter, on the County Down coast. Bookets were sent up, and at once the attention of those on shore was secured. With all possible dispatch the Coastguard boat proceeded to the ship, and immediately afterwards the lifeboat was also on the scene. Happily the wind was off shore and the water smooth, The passengers were all safely landed. Twenty tons of gunjowder have been thrown overboard, and the cargo s being discharged into lighters. The Loch Sunart left Greenock early on the morning of Jan. 8. The weather was then stormy, with a head wind; she raniutoLamlash for shelter, and left that place next morning. All this time she hod been in tow of a screw tug. After lea via g Lamlash the wind blew dead ahead, and the vessel ran into Belfast Lough, where she remained till the evening of J an XI. Having got under weigh the tug was dismissed, and the vessel proceeded on her course under full sail. About a quarter to 11 o’clock that night she ran ashore. There were forty-five passengers on board and a crew of thirty-five. The Loch Sunart was a vessel of 1231 tons register, was built last year, and had only made one voyage to Melbourne and back. Divers report vessel i* on uneven rooks; keel entirely gone from fore part of alter hatch to middle of main, aboul 50 feet; one plate cracked on turn of bilge on starboard side abaft mainmast. Vessel lies with heavy list to port. The Loch Sunart’s passengers will probably proceed by tno Loch Katrine, which vessel will be despatched from Glasgow on Peh 5. The Loeh Katrine (Burton), from Melbourne, arrived in London, reports:—Sailed from Melbourne Sept. 23, 1878.
