it is *rox_ii. ereo prokaule THAT SHE WILL KB FLOATED) OFF.

Great excitement was caused in town this morning by a report which obtained speedy circulation to the effect that the direct steamer Triumph had gone ashore at Tiri tiri. The unwelcome news greeted our citizens immediately on their arrival in town to commence the business of the day, and in many instances it was received with doubt. That it was substantially correct

was, however, noon proved beyond a doubt. Residents of the North Shore brought the intelligence that not only was the vessel hard and fust on one side of Tiritiri, but that she had been firing guns since daybreak, while tho flagstaff at Mount Victoria only too clearly showed tho si-iial denoting a steamer in distress. Further confirmation of the report was afforded by persons living on the higher levels of the city, many of whom claimed to have seen the big steamer in a stationary position so close to the land that there could bo no doubt that she Mas ashore. Tho Triumph's Departure It was well known that the Triumph had left the Quoen-street Wharf about eight o'clock last night, Pilot William Burgess being in charge.' The night was a clear starlight ono, and there could be no difficulty outside in seeing the land on either hand. This fact it was which inclined people to doubt tho statement that the vessel was ashore at Tiritiri, it being considered highly improbable that she would have run on to an island which must have loomed up large, and on which there is always a bright light burning. This light, our readers aro aware, shows out very clearly from the Auckland side. An impression appeared to exist during the forenoon that it was on Shearer Hock that the vessel.had struck, and this conclusion gained strength from the surrounding circumstances. The rock in question lies to the north-eastward of tho island, and there would have been a greater likelihood, it was thought.of an outward-bound vessel striking it than of running on to the island itself. The latter casualty was, however, the one which occurred.

A Fortunato Circumstance.

When the report of the catastrophe was made known, it was romombored as a most fortunate circumstance that the emigrants for the South wero shipped on tho Manapouri, and left by that vessel yesterday. Consequently, the excitement in town was not heightened by the fears for the safety of the passengers. From the ves sel's papers, it appeared that there was only ono passongor nboanl, and ho was a Mr Thompson.Who had come through with the jsteasier from London, and was bound South. The Triumph had, of course, a con siderable quantity of cargo shipped at the commencement of the voyage for Welling ton, Lyttlctoo, and Port Chalmers, and in addition to this, about twenty two bales of wool, three bales of basil leather, besides some curios and pic tures taken in at Auckland, Tho fact of the passengers having been sent South yes terday by the Manapouri was a most fortunate one, and doubtless averted many painful and exciting scones when the steamer struck, besides lessening subse quent expense. Discovery of tho Casualty. Although the accident must have hap pened about ten o'clock last night, nothing was known of it here until this morning. At daybreak, Mr John Landers, signal man, made his customary inspection of tho entrance to tho harbour, when ho was astonished 'to ob*«r_- a large steamer close in shore on the eastern side of Tiritiri. It was apparent nt a glance that she was injudiciously near to She land, and various indications favoured the CQW-iusion that she was aground. There was no w_ans of ascertaining the name of rthe uofoi. vwato ship, but he at onco des patched a -message to Captain I. J. Burgess, iChief Hnr-our.-ajaster, informing him of the .circumstances. There was at this time a jsi- nal at the Tiritifi station for a steamer •to°come down, and Captain Burgess at once imadethenecessnry arrange; racntsforcharter ing the North Shore Ferry Company's Vic toria. Steam was got up on board, and the Victoria left early in tho forenoon under tho charge of Captain Clark, and having Captains Burgess and Nearing on board. Excitement In Town. The! departure of the steamer wasfollowed by the circulation of ridiculous canards in town condoning the supposed r» use and results of the? casualty. It was asserted by scmothattheshipwaahighanddi^nShearer Rock, others Jwer. . qually certa?,, that only her bow or stern . «d touched, while by far the greater numhev claimed to have it on good authority _W- __c was a total wreck. As tho forenow advanced, it was reported that tho vessel had been floated off and gradually rlie ,«nxiety concerning her lessened grea. y, ff it was concluded that tho reports had been greatly exaggerated. Interested parties,, commenced negotiations for the charter of steamers to take them down to tho scene ot tho casualty, but whetho. tho terms were too tiifh or the de_iro to come .to not great, it is at all o__nts cortain that oothing was dono in this direction. Tho Tongawro was under charter, but it was feared by her directors that she would not be back; in time for hex trip tills afternoon, ■ and consequently she did not start. Messrs* Nathan and Co, made the nocessaty arrange ments lor sendiiig down the barque Helen Denny aud two ketches to take in cargo from the Triumph if thought desirable, •with the object of lightening her. Return of the Victoria. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, the «t«amcr Victoria was observed returning round tho North Head. A small crowd of persons collected on the North Shore Ferry Company's tee, and on the faC3 of each eagerness and anxiety was clearly depicted. The knot comprised the vessels agents, insurance representatives, and various persons interested in harbour matte* _. When the steamer came along side it ivas found that the only passengers were Captains Burgess and Nearing, and Mr Thompson, whom wo have previously mentioned as tho solo passenger who left by the Triumph. A rush was made for the deck of the Victoria and numerous questions were put to those on board with surprising .volubility. Replies were vague and unsatisfactory, and toe mosf that could be gleaned from the few answers that were give* was that the Triumph had run clean ashore ,on tho rocks at Tiritiri, and that

Sho was In a Dangerous Position. It was impossible to learn more than this for a few minutes, each ot the crowd requiring his curjos.ity to be satisfied in turn. It, however, spon be- known that there was a_ gteat deal of water in tho hold, while the opinion was expressed at the same time that there was a likelihood that -the ship would be got off. Pilot Wto Burgess arrived from tho North Shore immediately aft? t the Victoria owne.along side, and from liim wo learned that he loft tho Triumph at n/ne o'clock last night, she then being outsido Tiritiri. Iho re turned passengers and Captains Burgess and Nearing were all interviewed by our representative, and by them we are iuynwliea with various particulars of the occurrence, and the present position of the vessel, which ss not by any meant* a satisfactory one.

Mr Thompson's Statemont

This centleman informs _. that he was asleep at tho time of the occurrence. The steamer left the wharf about eight o'clock, and soon after ten ocloejc he was awakened by her striking heavily. The shock natusally created a great deal of excitement, on board, especially when it was found that water v*as making fast, The captain was on the bridge Tat the time, and the pilot had left more than an hour previously. When she struck, the steamer was going at the rate of eleven miles per hour. When he left, there was about twelve feet ot water in the small fore-compartment which h_ struck. Bluo lights and .rockete were burned during the night for assistance, aud this morning guns were hied.

Position of the Vessel.

1 rom Captain Clark we learned that the Iriumph is lying 0 n tlie south-east end of ■Until. She is lixed on the rocks under the south-east point, and on the fairway for tho light-house. She struck nt the foremast tight compartment, which is now partially filled with water. Captain Burgess, after taking s mtidings, advised that the cargo should bo taken out of the forehold and placed uft, so as to lighten her as much as possible forward, in the hope that she might be got to float off. This was to bo done when the Victoria left. There is 3 7 feet of water abaft tho fore rigging on the inner side, while there could not be less than seventeen fathoms under the stern. Captain Burgoos's Statement. Captain Burgess's statement is to the eli'ect that he found the Triumph in the position described by the signalman, and already stated. Tie considers it to te a bad position, more especially if it, were to blow from the north-west. She is lyiu about 150 feet from the dill's, and close on the south-east end of Tiritiri, on the rocks. Her fore-compartment is full of witter, and he considers the only chance to get her off is to shift tho cargo and put her down as much as possible by the stern. Ho made an inspection, but could not discover if any of the other compartments were injured besides this. Soundings which were made showed nine feet of water under the fore hatch, IS feet at the beginning of the main hatch, _7 feet at the end of the main hatch, and 77 feet at the stem of the vessel. The captain informed the Harbour-master that he was on deck when the steamer .struck, but he could give no explanation regarding the cause of tho casualty. Captain Nearing's statement is very much to the same effect.

Captain Hopkins on tho Soono.

Tho steamer Blanche arrived from Orowa this afternoon, and it being known that she had been alongside the Triumph, our reporter interviewed Captain Charles Hopkins, and obtained tho following state ment : —I was coming from Orowa in the Blanche early this morning, when I observed over the end of Tiritiri a steamer's mast, with a distress signal ou it, I hove away in that direction,and found that the steamer was tho Triumph, and that she was ashore on tho island. Those on board began to lire gnus, and continued to do so until I "jot within half-a-milo of them, firing pel-Imps half-a-dozen guns altogether. 1 steamed right across tho prssago, and under the Triumph's stern. She was jammed right on to the eastern corner of Tiritiri, so that when sho struck she must have been going north-north-west, while she should really have been heading north-east. Her bow was right on to tho about rocks, within *_5 yards of the cliff. I went alongside, and asked if I could give them any assistance. They told mo the captain was below. I went aboard and asked him if I could do anything for him, but ho replied tho Harbour-master would be there presently (the Victoria was then in eight) so that he did not want, any assistance just then. Although I had gono three miles out of my way, he did not even say "thank you." I went forward and had a look at the forehold. It was partly tilled with water, and there was a lot of broken timber, which I suppose was emigrants' fittings, floating about. There was ato.it 14ft, of water in the compartment, but, as it was dirty, I could not sco it tho rocks were through, tho bottom. On the port bow there was a lot of broken rock, one peak not having more than four feet of water over it. After tho Harbour master had made his foundings, I asked tho captain again if ho wanted any assistance, and ho replied "no.1 I left at a quarter past eleven. In answer to further questions , our informant said tho third mate told him that tho captain was on deck at the time of the occurrence. Blue lights wore sent up for assistancoduringthe night. They had a kodgn out over the quarter, or wire rope, but it was not well out, being at an angle of 45. Captain Hopkins ndded that tho steamer had no business within live miles of where she struck. Vessols Sent to Assistance. The Government steamer Stolla left for the scene at two o'clock, with a cuttor in tow; the Macgregor wont down later. Theso ves sels will render any assistance required in the way of removing cargo or towage. Mr Se.d, of the Customs Department, Mr Hill, and Captain Burgess went down in the Stolla.

Tho Intercolonial Conference,

Sydney, Friday

The following information has transpired regarding the series of resolutions tabled by Mr Service at tho Conference :—

The first is: "That it is necessary to prevent New Guinea and tho islands from the Equator to the New Hebrides falling into tho hands of foreign powors."

Second: "That to preclude such a disaster, it is desirable to urge the Imperial Government to annex or establish a protec torate over those islands."

Third : "That the Colonies aro willing to bear a reasonable proportion of the cost of uch annexing or proetectorate." Fourth : " That tho colonies protest against the proposal of the French Govern ment with regard to Recidivist, and appeal to the Imperial Government to_ prevent such a dire calamity as is threatening." Fifth : " That in view of many other im

portant matters, tho time has arrived for binding the colonies together in Federal union on such matters as tho Convention may determine." It is understood that there is a divorg enco .of views among the delegates on tho question of annexation, some being in favour of limited astjofl,only. Mr Griffith, Premier .of Queensland, has tabled a series of resolutions similar to those of Mr Servieo, but limiting action to Now Guinea, and trying the immediate establish ment of British jurisdiction there, Mr Dalley, Attorney-General for New South Wales, proposed an amendment on Mr (Griffiths'- motion. Tho amendment is similar _5 .tlio first and second clauses of Mr Service's motto?;. It is Btrongly adj'.ocated that the Con ference should d fin p. th. relations of the Navigators and Friendly Islands towards Australia.

THE N.Z. INSURANCE COM PANY'S BUILDING IN SAN FRANCISCO.

The San Francisco correspondent of tho " Otago Daily Times " writes:—"The New Zealand Insurance Company has just com „ pleted the purchase of ono of thefinestblocks in /3alifornia-street, San Francisco, giving a frontag. of COft, with a depth of 124 ft back to Halleti.vstroet, upon which a six story pressed brick mxl granite building .will be erected. When theimp-v. vements are .completed, the New Zealand Insurance Com pany will bo' represented here by tho finest businessblQckjnthecity. I.haveseenadraw ing of the front .elevation, which will dwarf all surrounding structures, ,i_d compel the expenditure of capital by local and foreign corporations to keep pace with it. This purchase, when announced in tho ■'■■ Post, created a great sensation in t_e pity. It is a trood investment, as the property would to-day sell for £5,000 more than the Company paid for it In this the New Zealand Insurance Company exercised wuad business sense. California, or rather the Pacific coast generally, is the right arm of New Zealand insurance and com mercial institutions. They are well repre sented all round. Mr Hill Jack is here at present' on his way from Europe, and sails shortly for Japan, thence to A". ti*alia and New Zealand. He states that ho has b.een greatly pleased with the prospects and con dition of the business of the companies which ho represents here, a much better i feeling prevailing among underwriters than on the occasion of his first visit. The fact is. everything is on a more permanent basis than it was five years ago, and th*oi.g_out ■ the State the.,, is steady business progress, - Mr Jack generally recognises the indirect advantage to all Mew Z~aland interests of tlw spirited policy ,of the -Now Zealand Company,"
