The Elingamite Disaster.

A BOAT PICKED UP,

Sypnu-y, Deo 7

The barque Otago arrived from Mercuiy Bay laet evening. She picked up the Elingamite's missing boat forty-live miles north-east of North Cape, waterlogged. The boat was empty, and there was noth ing to indicate the fate of the crew. The boat yfas taken on board the Otago.

A QUANTITY OF WKECKAU3 SIGHTED.

The boat turns out to be not the long looked for missing one containing thp thiid officer's party, but number six, which was swanped shortly after being launched. Its occupants were picked up by one of the other boats, which got away from the Elingamite, number six being curried away by the current. The Captain of the Otago sighted it on November 22nd, thirteen diys after the wreck, forty-five miles north-east of North Cape. He lowered a boat and towed it to the ship. The boat is badly knocked about. All the fittings have gone, and the bottom boards are missing. The day previous to picking up tho boat, the Otago sighted a quantity of wreckage, ihe drift of the current was strong to north-east off the Three Kings.

THE ENQUIRY.

Auckland, December 6 At the Elingamite enquiry, Mary Banamy saloon stewardess, stated that there were eleven or twelve females and four children in the saloon when the vessel struck. She assisted to get them on deck and into boats, and left on the No. 3 boat. She saw nc provisions. Colgan, the carpenter, said that when the vessel struck he found 9ft of water in the aft port bilge, and 3in forward. The water most have come in abaft the engine room.

James Coonan, boatswain, said he came on dock on hearing tho order, " All hands on deck." He saw rocks alongside, and the vessel was then just moving. He saw the telegraph and was pretty sure that it indi cated full speed astern. He looked over the port side, [and the ship then grazed having still a little way on. A little later, the bilge struck on the rocks and there was a crash. He was positive the engines were stopped when she struck. Witness helped to lower the No. 6 boat Some tins of biscuits—two at least—were handed into the boat. The water washed over the deck of the steamer and into the boat, and she swamped. No. 2 boat was then launched and picked up those thrown into the water. It was witness's duty to supervise the filling of the water-breakers. He filled them on the trip going to Sydney, all the boats being supplied. He did not see the raft breakers filled, but the men told him that they had been attended to. • The enquiry was then adjourned until Monday.

Sporting.

The programme of the Tinwald Racing Club's mcc* ing to be held on New Year's Day is now issued, and a very liberal bill o£-fare it is. There are eight events in all, consisting of the Grove Farm Handicap, of 8 soys ; Tinwald Cup, of 20 soys, one mile; and tho Thompson Handicap, of 9 soys, H mile. Two trots, of 10 soys each, are in cluded in the programme, also a Welter Handicap, of 7 soys, seven furlongs. One of the conditions attaching to the Farmers'. Plate, of 7 soys, one mile, is that the com peting horses must be ridden l.y bona fide farmers. The day's sport will be wound up with the usual Hurry Scurry, of 5 soys, 4 j furlongs. Owners are reuvnded that nomi- i nations for all events, except the Hurry Scurry, close at 9 p.m. on Saturday, 13th December, and weights will bo declared on or about Friday, December 26th. This popular gathering never fails to attract a large attendance of holiday-makers, a large percentage of whom never attend a race meeting at other times during the year. The gentlemen at the head of affairs are to be congratulated upon making a bold effort this year to place the Club in a sound financiiil position, and it is to be hoped their united efforts will be amply rewarded by good nominations and a large attendance pf the public on New Year's Day.
