The hull of the Commonwealth and Dominion Line steamer Port Elliott, which was wrecked near the Ea«t Cape on January 12 last, is beginning to break up. When the Government steamer Tutanekai was at. East Capo recently, an inspection of the wreck was made by Captain J. Boi-

lons, who found that the heavy northerly seas* had smashed a large hole- in the atern under tho counter, arul that tbc after-peak tank bulkhead had carried away. As the hole in tho stern extends, the heavy seas will hare full play inside the shell* of the wreck, and it is thought the final collapse of tho hull it now only a matter of time. - SHIPPING TELEGRAM.S.
