The Catterthun

Sydney, August 28 Captain Hall, who was in charge of the salvage operations, states that the rock which the Catterthun struck was' two and a-half miles south-east of the light house and not more than twenty feet square, with twenty-one feet of water on it. The rock showed signs of 4he tremendous force with which the J steamer struck it. The wreck lies J upright about four and a-half miles from ■where the vessel struck. Had she kept afloat a few minutes longer she would have gone down in twenty fathoms of water, and the salvaging would then have been easy. Both Captain Hall and the diver are of opinion that it is impossible to suc cessfully carry on salvage operations with the present appliances. It is understood that the under writers have decided to send Home for special appliances to enable divers to reach the wreck,

Sia,~-1 consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellouß eSeota of the remedies I got from you on my horse. He got so bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing eonditioa and became bo weak that hs could eoaroely stand. I oarsfuly followed the direo tiona on the bottles and shortly after gett log the last bottle he passed bots, and at onoe began to mend, and in a few days was Jit for big work, lam confident only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believing it haa no equal— WILHAM STMNOTELLOW. Laanston, August 18, 1894
