DAMAGED LINER
REBUILDING OF VESSEL. A LONG TASK. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—^Copyriglit.) (Australian Press Association.) Received March 28, 1.6 p.m. BERLIN, March 27. An inspection of the liner Eurona confirms the hope that the stern, tne engines, the boilers and the hull escaped damage by the fire and greater hopes are therefore entertained of rebuilding the vessel, though it is expected that such a task would occupy a year. The forepart and the centre of the craft provide a terrible spectacle of devastation. Stout iron girders are twisted and bent like wire. _ » The cause of the disaster is still a mystery. It is very difficult to make investigations owing to the absolute destruction of all traces of the fire’s origin.
