BARQUE WAI-ITI REFLOATED.
[BY TELEGRAPH.FRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Dargavillk, Friday The barque Wai-iti, which capsized in the Wairoa River on January 28, was refloated at six o'clock last night.
[The Wai-iti had left the wharf at Dargaville on January 28, when the wind carried her on to a bank. With the fall of the tide she fell over on her side. The contractor (Mr. J. Brown) attempted several times to float the vessel, and a few weeks ago Messrs. Brown and Lane combined to carry out the work. On Tuesday last they raised the vessel so that at low tide nearly the whole of the rail on the lee side was out of water, and the final attempt proved successful. The Wai-iti is an iron vessel of 688 tons, and is owned by Mr. Turnbull, of Timaru]
