It is expected to finish to-morrow. Captain Bendall, Marine Surveyor for the Underwriters' Association and Lloyds, stated that he inspected the Bellinger in December last, and found her in good condition. She was not "hogged" as stated by Captain Benson and the engineer. He had inspected her since she stranded, and found five or six holes in the outside plating in the fiat of the bottom of the engine-room compartment. There are two or three holes in the after tank. He continued : As a nautical man of experience, I certainly should say it was not necessary to run her ashore on the morning of the accident. If I found water rising 9or 10 feet in the engine-room, I should have known there was no danger of her foundering if the bulkheads were good. If the vessel had drifted I would have dropped anchor, and sent ashore for assistance. If I had any fear of the bulkheads giving way, I should have turned to and stopped them with timber. I cannot conceive now the master should have seen danger under the circumstances. „ THE STEAMER DOUGLAS. Opotiki, Wednesday. — The steamer Douglas was successfully floated this morning by the strenuous efforts of Captain Austin. No damage has been done.

A BARQUE DISABLED. Christchukch, Wednesday.— barque Fray Beutos, from the Bluff to Port Pirie, with timber, put into Lyttelton to-day in a leaky condition. She met a heavy jjale on March (>, and shipped large quantities of water. Oil was tried to assuage the waves without success. She began to leak, and Captain Ovston shaped a course for Lyttelton. The leak is thought to be in the top side, and it is expected can be repaired after landing a small portion of the cargo.
