THE WRECK OF THE MAPOURIKA.

United Press Association — By Electric Telegraph Wellington, October 3. The Post understands that Oaplain M y - Lean when he look commnnd had rxp'icit im-tructione from head quarters to take no risks with the M&pourika, as she was a valuable boat, and there were no insurances on her. If necessary it was better for him to err on the side of over caution. So far it is not intended to eend a Wellington lug to asßist the stranded ve6eel ph p'enty or towßge 5o«-er is available at. Greymouth. Mr lanicl, the Union Company's foreman, who ia et the scene of the accident has sent the following report to the Company. There ia •bcut 6 feft rf wafer at dpnd low water at tho bow, a Del abuut thtee feet at. the eicru The following ia tde damage :— Stem is twisted from the 9ft mark downward, very like the Wainui ; tho plates on the port side are very bvdly holed, from the stern to the centie of the bottom of the ship ; the fore hatch under the chain locker is knocked m altogether ; one large hole is just on the aft Bide of the chain locker, breaking away the edge of the ballast tank ; another large hole 1b just at the end of the forecabin close to the edge of the ballant tank into the bold ; another large hole ia just clear of the ballast tank into the hold just opposite the centre forehatoh. All this damage is on the port side. All the frames for about twenty feet under the forecabin ar« benb and broken. Bave taken up all the lining near the damage, and the holes being three feet or four feeb under water at low water, a heavy sea and shingle are washing through into the hold, and I have great fear of being able to stop the holes even to float into the river. At high water there are fifteen feet of water m the forohold. The weight of water against the bulkhead has broken the fl»Dges of the water tight door, admitting the water into the engine room. Am strengthening the door this tide and hope to have ib finished by next tide. If it is possible to save the vessel m her present condition, she oan be repaired as she lies, well sheltered from the south-west. All preparations are being made to proteot her from northward. If it is not possible by to night's tide to stop the holeß m her bottom wish a prospect of taking her out to Bea, will use every means possible to be broad side on the beach with a prospect of eventually launching her. A Magisterial enquiry has been fixed foe next Monday at Greymouth. Captains Maroiel (of Christoburch) and Bignall (Harbormaster at Hokitika), have been appointed nautical assessors. Wellington, October 4 Captain Daniels wired the Union Company to-day that a heavy surf on the beach prevents any attempt being made to patch the holes m tho Mapourika. He had wire hawsers off from the bow and stern for the protection of the ship from the southerly •ea. The engine room bulkhead was now light, and the vessel came astern several feet last night. He hoped to shift, her further aft this tide. The water ia being removed from the engine-room m the meantime. A considerable south-west sea laßt night did cot effect the ship. All the gear i» now on the beach, and is ready for operations.
