THE TRIUMPH.
A laege number ot visitors went on board the steamship Triumph during Saturday and yesterday. On board, the men were all busily engaged in fixing up gear for the purpose of getting the cargo out of the No. 3 hatch, in which are the two large cases of machinery, etc. It is Mr. Praaer's intention to lose no time in getting his Teasel in a fit order to go into dock, to enable him to Bee what is really the extent of damage done to her. Pumping operations are still kept up at intervals during the day—some three or four minutes in eaoh hour. Her decks are now somewhat cleared up, and generally the vessel shows a better appearance than when she came off the reef. Her ballast tanks have now all been filled, and the resnlt is that she has been brought up on a much more even keel, although she still has a strong list to starboard. Mr. i'raaer, however, eipectß to have nearly all of the cargo out of the vessel, and horielf on an even keel, by the end of the present week. The Triumph, lying as she does, in a prominent position, opposite Mechanics' Buy, can be seen from a number of points in the vicinity of the city.
