THE TRIUMPH DISASTER.

Mb FuASfR has not lost any time in com mencing operations on the wreck of th e Triumph, ffa visited tho vessel in tho steamer Blanche yesterday, aud after mailing a thorough inspection, .decided on liia method of procedure. The Tiiuinph still remains firmly fixed on the rocka, with a largo quantity of w&ter in each compart ment. Mr Fraser does not intend to pump tho water out rat, but on the contrary, will keep hor well tilled with water }n owW to keop hor as firm as jwesible, and as e!io now liesitwould takoaveiy heavy gal© to seriously affect hor. To-day a gang of won wore busily encaged on the wreck under the direc tion of Captain Alex. Farquhar, of the steamer Rotomahana. They haro beon pHneipally ocoupied in removing all the looso gear about tho vessel and making pre parations for taking out the refrigerator, which, being a valuable piece of proporty, will bo brought to Auckland as soon as pos giblo. Further than this, Mr Frascrdoes not consider it advisablo to spoak respect ing his plan of procodure, but says that ho expects to have the Triumph herself in har bour within avery short time. Ho certainly apt^is to havo taken the matter in hand in a fcusiness-liko manner, and deserves success.

We are in reaeipt of particulars of tho ac cident at Mercury Bay |wi the 4th instant, which resulted in the death of tho young man William Wallace Hondorson, iiophow of Hon. Thomae Henderson, M.L.C. It was elicited at tho inquoet that deceased was excavating for ballast for Bchapp and Ansonne's railway, and had undormined a distance of two and a half feet. Richard Hallatn, ongiiio-driver, noticed deceased was a, pood way under neath t)ie bank, and jokingly asked if ha was goiqg to dig a house there, to which the young man mado a laughing reply. Two hours later tho driver fonnd tho embankment had collapsed and buried Henderson beneath it. Assistance was at hand, and ho was dug out, but life was found to be extinct. Mr Smith, fore man of works, said that he warned de ceased in the forenoon of the danger of his position, and advised him to leave and go elsewhoro to wonk. Henderson wag not under his orders, so ho csuld not compel him to desist. About 6 p.m. the deceased was found buried under two or threo tons of earth. The jury found that death was the result of accident, and that no blamo was attachable to any ono.

Richard Fcltns was discovered on Wed nesday evening by Constable Naughton at the "Peak," Ararimu, Kaipara. Tlie constablo had spent four days in search of tlio unfortunate man, having scoured the buehior twenty or thirty miles. Ho was traced through tho information of two gum diggers, who told the constable they had seen a man of wild appearance answering tho description givon of Feltus, neav tho Horse-shoo Bush, who said lie was going to Rtverhoad. They gave him food. Ho was almost' shoeless, his coat in shreds, and the wearer apparently in a sinking state. Con iitililiS Naughton persevered in the direction indicated, csjl found'his man sitting under a'ouwi cy 'an uninhabited' vrharo, with his fl yps fix,ed is' tiipMt in m^fft contemplation of some distant pfyftct. "JFjLe a£Qas4 him with tho words', '"Goim, Sicliarfl'fpomjs wjtji mo." Ho replied that Jie ?y»s v^vm to, send a message by telephone to Sir George Grey, who would come to his assißtanco. lie tf'flfl evidently wandering in his mind.

Presently he revived, »M cv a nidMi'a repose he was well enough to hp conveyed to Auckland. The opinion is that had not the constable discovered Feltus on Wednesday evening, he could not have lived through the night. He is now in good hands awaiting the result of a medical examination.
