THE DEVON WRECK.
WELLINGTON, last night. Mr M. Myers, on behalf of .Captain Oaunce, has asked for a re-hearing of the inquiry into the wreck of thY Devon. He points out that Captain Caunce is unable to lodge the necessary security for the appeal against tho Court's decision m the ordinary way. The Harbor Board to-day considered the position of the permanent employees suspended on Monday for refusing to handle cargo salvaged from the DeA r on. The men forwai'ded an admission that they had acted wrongly, and the Board eventually deeded that they be re-instated, with the loss of three days' pay. The scow Echo salvaged to-day about 100 tons of general cargo from the Devon, including nearly 40 organs and a large quantity of agricultural machinery. Work will be resumed to-morrow.
A diver made a partial examination of the fore part of the hull, and will continue his work to-morrow.
The wreck remains m the same condition^ and moves very slightly at high water.
