THE WAIRARAPA DISASTER.

Wellington, .November 7 Tuckett, a Wellington survivor, says after the vessei struck, he made £>t the poop, where two seamen were trying to lower a boat through a group of women, There were cries for the boat to be lowered, bwt the seamen said thpy were waiting for orders, and these, Tuckett says, he never heard. A considerable time elapsed, and still the boat was not lowered. Then a sea uwept over the deck, and carried him and ethers over. He was repeatedly knocked under water by horses, dead bodies and wreckage, and was only taken into a boat when at the last gasp. Christohurch, November 7 The total amount of, contributions to the Wairarapa Relief Fund on the City Council list to-day was £45 Is Id, of which £12 Os 7d was collected by members of the Fire Brigade m the streets and on the racecourse on Tuesday. The total above given is exclusive of the £21 Os 2jd collected at the opening of the band rotunda. A meeting was held m the Council Chambers, Lyttelton, on Tussday even ing, of those desirous of taking steps to start a relief fund m connection with the Wairarapa disaster. Owing to the holi day, there was only a poor attendance. His Worship the Mayor, Mr J, Thomp son, occupied the chair. Mention was made of the statement given by one of the witnesses at the inquiry, with regard to the probability of one of the raffs hav ing been washed out to sea, and it was de cided to at once call the attention of the i Government to this fact m the hope that some action would be taken to immedi ately account for the whereabouts of the raft. A conversational discussion took place as to the best means to be adopted to raise money, and it was decided to ar range for a monster concert at an early date. Mr G. Laurenson stated that he understood that the Lyttelton Literary Society had taken steps to get up a con cert on November 21 for the fund. Mr Hlskeng stated that he had no doubt the Society would be willing to co-operate ■with any committee having the same ob ject In view. It was resolved to at once open subscription lists at the Harbor Board office and at the Borough Council Chambers for those willing to subscribe. The meeting then adjourned until Novem ber 13. Up to yesterday afternoon, the ■Wairar apa Belief Fund Committee at Welling ton, had received £568, and the Evening Post list amounted to £62. Acckland, November 7 At the Wairarapa inquiry this morning the third ©fficer was examined at length as to to the possibility of a raft with survi vors having drifted to sea. He stated that he did not think this possible. No raft crowded with people could live m such a aea. *He accounted for three out of four rafts. The raft deck would not be likely to support people for any length of time. It was almost Impos sible that any wreckage would drift be tween the mainland and Goat Island without being stranded. On Sundaytha captain was particularly attentive to his duty. He seldom left the bridge. Be' tween 9 and 10, the captain expested to be midway between Cape Brett and the Poor Knights. The ship was well found m sounding apparatus, which was ready for instant use whenever the captain chose to take soundings. Tli9 captain was m his usual condition. Witness could not account for the alteration m the course. The witness did not know of any special instructions given to the captain to be careful to be m time for the Christchurch races this week. When the ship went ashore there was 48 hours to spare. The captain was a very temper ate man. He had never known him to touch opium or morphia, or show the effects of liquor. "He was a strong-minded man, but his nerves may have been shaken by his recent illness. He had no reason to believa the captain's xn{ad had given way under pressure of any sort, between eleven and twelve o'clock witness want to the captain and told him the ship was logging fourteen knots. The captain said it was ridiculous, she could not be doing It *£mily Diekenson, a passenger by the , Wairarapa, said that from what she saw of the first officer he behaved very well, fle only had his vest, shirt, and (sap on. He remained for some time at the foot of the fore-rigging, and whilst m this posi tion he was getting ropes ready. She saw nothing of the second officer. She was twelve hours m the rigging and was the first to go across by the rope to shore, but could not say whether the ahief officer superintendtd the operations to get a line ashore. Dunlop was unconscious for about bwo hourß after he endeavored to rescue Sarah Williams. Several more bodies were round at the Great Barrier yesterday, supposed to be those of Mrs Waterhouse and child, Mr Dunkley, a saloon passenger, and Mrs Baldwin. Dr Lawrey and Mrs Page have gone to identify those first named. Sergeant Gamble reports to Inspector Hickson that) 57 bodies have been buried and accounted for. If no more bodies are found he will leave for Auckland to morrow or Friday. The police party had a narrow escape, the boat being stove m at the wreck m getting the body of Mrs Waterhouse off. The Royalist is cruising round the j •vicinity of the wreck. Her steam launch ■was of great service. The body of Mr -3udd, chief steward, was buried here tn-day. Auckland, November 8 The Wairarapa's fourth life raft, sup posed to be missing, has been found ashore at Kaitoke. The bodies found on Arid Island are supposed to be those ■washed off this raft

MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON—THURSDAY.

(Before Mr 0 A, Wray, S.M. Traction Engines. —T, Doig was charged with having been m charge of a traction engine which was being propelled along a public road without having two men accompanying it, whose function ifc was to keep a look out. Thomas fulton was charged with a similar offence. Mr Wilding appeared for defendant. He contended that though the Magistrate's decision m Christchurch, and Justice fienniston's sub sequent confirmation of that decision m the Appeal Court, had shown that under the old Act it was necessary that a traction engine driver should employ two men whose only function it was to keep a look out, still the Act recently passed allowed the two men who kept a look out to also perform other duties on the engine. His Worship, before giving his decision, wished to Bee a copy of Justice Denniston's ruling, and also a copy the new Act and adjourned both cases for a week. Civil Cases.—N. Z. Land Association v William Broker £14 7s 2d. Mr Cuthbertson appeared for plaintiffs and Mr Wilding for defendant. The account included a claim for thirty-two sheep, alleged to have been bbught by defendant on September 12,1893, and another lot also of thirty-two sheep, stated to have been bought on October 10. Mr Wilding submitted tint his client knew nothing of the N. Z. JJand Association, but subsequently allowed the cass to proceed on its merits with the H. Z. Loan and Mercan tile Co. as the plaintiffs.—Mr A. W. Steele gave evidence as to the amount claimed being charged on the company's books to defendant. Mr J. G. Restell, formerly carrying on business m conjunction with the N- Z. Loan and Mercantile Co., gave evidence that m both his and Mr Secretau's books were entries of the sale on September 12. Witness also produced the yard delivery note said to have been given to the defendant as purchaser.—William Broker stated that on September 12, the date on which he was said to have purchased one lot of sheep, he was ill, unable to attend to his business, and was not at the yards. Two lots of aheep had been charged to him on October 10, but he had only purchased one lot on that day, and had not purchased those now being sued for. In the two lots there would be about seventy sheep.— Samuel Hume, who shore some sheep for defendant, and Frederick Betts, who re ceived them info his paddock on October 10, deposed that about thirty and not seventy had been brought from the yards by defendant.-—Joseph Batty, farmer at Cairn brae, stated that the thirty-two sheep alleged to have been sod on September 12 had been his property, aDd on that date he had been at the saleyards, and had had Broker pointed out to him as the purchaser. —David Teppett, jijrdman at the Ashburton saleyarda, remembered pointing pub to defendant his seventy sheep according to the delivery note dated October 10, but could not swear that Broker took away seventy. Had no recollection of delivering thirty-two to Broker on September 12. — gdward Berry gave evidence that about September 7 aQd Bhe had been employed to feed pigs for l|rokdr who was ill at the time. —McLeod, Btockfdriver fyr thp Npw 9[esland Loan and Mercantile Company, stated that he had not taken away from the yards on the day after the sale of October 10, sheep on behalf of the Company. Had there been any there he would have had to take them $w&y. —His Worship considered that the evidence of Steele and Restell, taken m eon? junction with that of Batty, proved the auction sale of September 12, and he gave judgment accordingly.—Mr Wilding then submitted that as the sale of October 10 was a private one there was no evidence that defendant had bought seventy and not fhirty-two sheep on that occasion.—His Worship took this view, and this portion of the case \vent m faypr of defendant.—Judg ment was therefore for plaintilfa for £f} |2s 2a.
