THE STRANDED COOMA

REFLOATING EFFORTS FAIL. (Press Association,—By Telegraph—Copyright.) BRISBANE, September 23. The attempts to refloat the steamer Cooma have been abandoned following the failure to free the vessel during the recent high tides. The next high tides occur in January, so the outlook of saving the vessel is therefore not bright. The steamer Cooma (3830 tons), with 200 passengers on board, went ashore on July 7 on North Reef, a desolate spot off the Queensland coast. Most of the passengers were tourists from Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, who wore going north for the winter. All the passengers were safely transhipped.
