United Press Association —l>y Electric Telegraph—Copyright ':, Sydney, Nov 11 Crowds of friends of passengers by the vessel besiege the telegraph office imd the shipping office, anxiously, enquiring for news. Following is the list of the steerage pas sengers by the Elinsam ite: — Messrs Lungavioh, Frmlan, Morris, J. Morris, Abott, Wilcan, Banks, Thompson. , Patterson, Stringfellow, JordHn, Robinson, O'Connor, MMdlehurst, Hassey, Jennings, Kennedy, Kelly, Christsen, Palmer, Parker, Doorty, Markovitoh, Turin, Frederick, Bierotf, Boesch, Rosandich, Passey, Sunec, Muirhead, Chaploe, Mills, Clark, Miss Dunn, Mr Berry and wife and four children, Mrs Sully, Mr Green and wife, Mr Perkins and wife, Hr Hankinson and wife and two ohildren, Mr Napier and wife and infant.

It'is now ascertained that theElingamite's total specie is £17,320, apportioned as fal lows: .£400) silver for Lyttelton, £3000 j gold, £10,300 silver, £20 copper for Dunedin. Melbourne, November il The Huddart-Parker Company's manager now states that the vessel is valued at ! £40,000, and is insured for £27.000 with the I Maritime Insurance Company, Liverpool. y It is understood that a large portion is re insured. The company itself has an in surance fund. As a rule is followed gene rally of insuring steamers three-fourths of , their value, the balance being provided out j of the company's own fund, the Elingamite is therefore practically fully insured. Received November 12, 9.45 a.m.

Sydney, Nov. 12 Amongst many others Mr Seddon cabled to Messi's Huddart's, syrnpathing with the loss of the Elinganiite, hoping that loss of life will be averted or minimised. The relatives of the missing besiege the offices, anxiously awaiting news. Auckland, November 11 The chief officer, Mr Burket, states that he and the second officer were packed up from the wreckage when the boat was nearly full of water. The boatswain aud several others were subsequently picked up. A " Star " special states that the boat in charge of the chief officer included Renaut, the second mate, Morrison, and O'Neill, engineers, the chief and second cook ; two A.B.s, one ordinary seaman, the chief steward, and 32 passengers, including four ladies and two children, total 52. The pas sengers speak in high praise of the officers and crew, who behaved as true British seamen.

Wellington, Nov. 11

Mr W. W. Bradford, one of the missing passengers, is secretary of the Sydney School of Arts, and nephew of Mrs Chantry Harris, of Wellington. Several carpenters, who have been engaged by Wellington builders, were also among the passengers.

Mr W. Gray, secretary of the Postal De partment, telegraphed to Hohoura to find out from the second officer if there was any possibility of saving the mails. Mr Renant replied that the second officer's was the last boat that left the wreck, at which time all the hatches were washed away, and the mails were floating about in the sea. He was unable to save any portion of the mails, as he was engaged picking up people from the boat which had capsized.

•The mails consisted of twelve bags from * Sydney, three from Brisbane, one from Ade laide, and six from Melbourne. Enclosed in these were two from Broken Hill, and one from Sfcrahan.

Mr Gray was also, advised from Auck land that the Omapere was about to leave for the scene of the wreck, and a postal officer was sent with her. She is simply go ing to look out for the missing boats, and for any floating articles, as it is not thought that anything can be recovered from the wreck.

SEVENTY MORE PASSENGERS RES CUED.

Auckland, Nov. 12

A " Star " special from Mongonui, states that the Zealandia is reported to have picked up seventy passengeis. Gisborne, Nov. 12

Captain Chrisp, of the Omapere, wires to the " Herald" from Mongonui:—" Spoke to the Zealandia at 4 a.m. off the Cavallis, and she reports having seventy survivors. Am proceeding to the Three Kings to search for the missing boat raft."

Wellington, November 12

The Secretary of the Post Office has received a telegram from Doubtless Bay, stating that the Zealandia picked up one boat and two rafts containing seventy of the EHngamite's passengers and crew. Auckland, Nov. 12

Dr Beattie gives the following account of the wreck of tho Elingamite: —" She strunk one of the Three Kings about half-past ten on Sunday morning, during a dense, fog. The captain was on the bridge, and a man on thelookout, but the breakers were not observed until the steamer was almost on the rocks. The engines were stopped rapidly, which causedrae to lookover thepf-rt side, when I saw high towering rocks to wards which the steamer was slowly moving. She bumped softly at first, but soon the crash became appalling. Within half an Hour the deck was half under water. Several boats got away safely. Miss Anderson and myself and several others whose names I do not know, got into what we believed was the last boat that could be launched. We were then fairly waist high in water on deck, and remained there only with dif ficulty. We were only a short time on the boat when she got swamped, and capsized. By this time we had launched the last life boat, which could not be launched pre viously, all ropes being already cut. As the boat floated gently off, five or six passengers who were on the upper deck, stepped into her and made for us. Miss Anderson was first picked up, then myself, then a few other passengers, and soon after the first and second mates, who at once assumed command. By this time all the boats had disappeared. We remained to pick up all the passengers seen on the floating wreckage. We numbered 45 in all, and one dead body. We set sail to find the Cape Maria light, the night being misty. We failed to find it, and waited anxiously for daylight, but the mist continued. About 8 a.m., the mist cleared slightly for only a few minutes, but we were unable to find land. We then set out on our course again, and landed on Sandy Beach, Cape Kowhai, about half past twelve p.m. We were 25 hours in open boat, and were much cramped and extremely cold. We sailed probably, considerably over 100 knots. Late on the afternoon of Sun day we sighted a boat, and believed it to be the Captain's, apparently making for Cape Maria. We soon lost sight of her again, and saw no other boats. After starting out, several passengers floated away on raffcs, and five ware left on the steamer. We passed four or five dead bodies before clearing the wreckages The steamer-was bbvfbusly a dorSplete- wreck. Practically. a}J on boapd kept' cdoiVand the officers and iiign were "heroic. One geaman'e.3ked us not tq"t^fc"e him on board uri'til alt the others had been'pickod up. All the passengers landed are well, but somemhat exhausted. The Maoris and Pakehas treated us splendidly." A saloon passenger state that the nrst thing noticed, after striking, waa the cliffs towering high above the masts, partially pbscured by the fog, which was very dense. After all tfce men and children were safe, I got away in the fifth b.oat. She had to be launched between the. wreck and the cliffs. When picking up the others flpating in the Water, the boat cansized, throwing us all out. Afterwards, another boat got clear and picked us up after being about half an hour in the water. The first and second mates also were picked up at that time. The only provisions we had in the boat were a few oranges and loquats, with a ease of schnapps, which were all picked out of the water and a breaker full of water. There was no time to provision the boat, as the fore part of the vessel sank about 20 minutes after the vessel struck.' The seas weregoing'right over her as we got away. There were also two rafts, and one was overcarned. There was a large number of ■women and children on the vessel, but all were taken offj some of them on rafts, They

were not all fully clothed when they left the vessel. It was raining slightly during t he night, but not heavily!

I ONDOiV, Nov. 11

The Opposition's amendment to Mr Bal four's motion for applying the guillotine to the Education Bill, declines to restrict the discussion, the Bill requiring the most searching examination since it vitally affects local government and administra tion, besides endowing denominational teaching without full popular control.

The Position in India. In the House of Commons, dealing with th/ 3 Indian budget, Lord Geo. Hamilton said tho surpluses during the last three years had aggregated ,£8,300,000, despite the famine expenditure of £20,000,(100, railways £23,000,000, irrigation, and the creation of a gold fund of over .£3,600,000, which give stability to exchange, c . while it was a gross libel to assert that the prosperity of the masses in India had decreased. He re gretted the indebtedness of the cultivators had increased, and declared that Abburrah man's death had not altered the position in Afghanistan as i egards Britain's and Rus sia's engagements respecting the sphere of action, intercourse, and influence.
