A SHIP ASHORE.
SAFETY OF THE CREW. Pros Association.— Telegraph.—
Melbourne, September 16. A four-masted ship, the name of which at present is unknown, is ashore near Wilson's Promontory. A small steamer alongside also appears to be ashore.
Later. The vessel ashore near Wilson's Promontory is the four-masted ship Drumblair, of 1848 tons, Captain Golding, bound from Port Pirie, South Australia, to Sydney, in ballast. She went ashore twelve miles east of Waratah Bay, at four o'clock this morning. The officers and crew remain by the ill-fated vessel, but her position is such that they can leave at any time. The report that a steamer was ashore alongside of her proves to be incorrect. The s.s. Maitland went to her assistance, but is not ashore, nor could she render any help in getting the Drumblair out of her unfortunate position. The disaster is supposed to be due to an error in the ship's compasses.
