Mr Natihian, manager of tlhe Agjents Company, stated that Captain Riainey informed him that the position Wiiis unchanged and the prospects for, irieflioaitlinjg good. The reason why she was not refloated, these spring tides was {because they were poor «nd concluded by stating there was absolutely no foundation for the report 'that most of the lines bJa'd carried away.

The Captain of ; the Tera,whiti stated the Indrajba.rah hiad not gone fu? ther inshore when he left and there was no likelihood of her doiagj so

WANOANIUI, June 23. lii the opinion of a number of Wanganui people who visited the Indrabarah yesterday the prospectsi of , refloating are more remote than ever. The vessel's bow is only about five yai'ds from the beach at low water. The bleach for a mile or more is strewn with jettisoned cargo which is being salvaged. Two lines from the stern to the anchor seawards are still intaot, while the port anchor is holding tjhebow. still. The connectied" with the shore is keeping the Vessel in position.
