THE JESSIE READMAN,
Captain Babot has received a cablegram from the Shaw-Savill Company directing that the Jessie Headman is not to be sold pending further instructions.
A passenger who returned to Christchurch from the Chatham Islands laat week states that the Jessie Headman is now surrounded by a bank of sand, and that he considers it improbable that the vessel can be floated, even if all the cargo is removed, as she is lying in a self -made basin. The teams engaged in removing the wool from the beach are still busy carting it. The owners have been paid at the rate of 15s per bale for the first 2000 bales, but a fresh contract has been let by Captain Babot, and only 7s Cd per bale will be paid for the remainder. The work has proved very remunerative for the islanders engaged at it.
