ON SOFT CORAL
THE STRANDED TASMAN UNATTENDED LIGHT EXTINGUISHED (A. & NX.) SYDNSY, Map 2. The steamer Tasman, which is ashore in Torres Strait, has aboard 26 passengers and 100 of a crew. The vessel lies on a soft coral bed and is in no immediate danger. It is reported that an unattended light on Clarke Island has been extinguished for over a week, and warnings to shipping have been issued by the Queensland Navigation Department. The steamer Houtman, of the same line, made an effort to render assistance, but the depth of water was not sufficient to get close enough to enable hawsers to be put aboard.
