The chief othcer, ilr Eenant, and the second engineer, Mr Jlorrison, were officers 6f tho Elihgamite when that vessel was wrecked. V . Cable messages fi'om Sydney stats that further wreckage has been found at Crbmilla. and Port Hue-king. It includes a box bearing'the name "' Nemesis." This and the fact «f the steftirior not having been reported anywhere along the coast add to the feur that the kexndaia haa foundered with all hanfis. "Wreckage strewji all along the beacli indicates that the hatches were biust by heavy seas, splintered woodwork of the hatches having been recovered, also pnrfc of the bridge deck, cabin fittings, boats and a quantity of coal. One lifeboat was apparently in good order, but there was no. sign of bodies. A heavy swell prevents a. search seaward. The Nemesis carried a cargo of 1600 ton= of coal. The Kemeais was sighted on Saturday afteriloon at two o'clock by a steamer off Woolorigpng. Apparently she must have been making bflpk to j Sydney owing to the derangement of the ma- j chinery, of for shelter, when she was overtaken by disaster. • . I
