Inspection of the Vessel,

This little piece of excitement, over I made a minute inspection of the Triumph in company with Captain Brotherton, chief officer Owens, and Captains Worsp and Clayton. The first thing noticeable was that the decks had opened out in several places owing to the severe straining which the vessel had sustained, while the foremast was observed to have sunk about two inches, and appeared likely to go through the vessel's bottom, if it had not done so already. Tho fore-hold and No. 2 compart ment wc found full of water, while the engine-room was similarly situated ; No. .'J compartment was tilling rapidly, and the after-hold showed signs of leakage. Mr Owens went below at the after-hatch, and upon returning on deck reported that the bulkheads had burst, and that water was rushing through from the next compart ment. He also said that the tunnel was leaking badly. In each compartment timber and other wreckage was floating about, and tho water appeared to bo rising fast. There were live large cases in the after hold, and these were partially under water.

Bottom Torn Out of tho Foro Hold,

There was every indication that the bottom had been torn out of the fore-hold, for timber and packages which had been loft the. o while the steamer's bow was on the rocks had lloatcd out from beneath the vessel. This, ofcour.se, would also indicate that the railway iron which was left in the fore-hold, amounting to some two or three bundled tons, had gone to the bottom. The lead was dropped in tho hold, and bottom was found, but it was concluded that it had cone through the vessel and touched upon a rock. In this connection it appears more than probable that, had the iron been re moved from the fore-hold before the gale came on, the damage to this part of the vessel would not have beon so serious, and that there would still havo been a good chance of saving the ship. From the report made to-day by the surveyors, it is evident that this satisfactory issue to the catas trophe can no longer be hoped for.

No Prospect of Floating the Ship Again.

A glance around the vessel lead to the conclusion that she will never be floated from her present position. From the nftcr iiatch to the stoke-hole on tho starboard side she is resting upon largo boulders, while her stern is so close to tho cliff that a man could easily stop ashore, and yet directly under her stern there is a depth of Jo feet of water. The port side lies upon a rough lodgo of rocks, upon which the vessel is firmly fixed, while on the star board side great boulders show ont just below the surface at short intervals. The bow of tho ship is almost completely submerged at high water and the vessel still almost on her beam onds. Sli6 appears to have been lifted bodily over one lino of rocks and, so firmly fixed bo tween that and the next ledge, in addition to having a largo rock through her engine room, that there is no prospect of the vessel ever being lloatcd again. It is exceedingly fortunate, though, that the gale carried the Triumph into her present position, for hail she not been thrown upon the rocks sho weald most certainly have sunk in deep water, and everything been lost, for she had broken up to such an extent. Return of the Anne Miiba____ Mr Fraser having mado an inspection of the wreck for his information, invited all who wished to go to town to tako pas safe by the Anno Milbank. Captains Worsp and Clayton, the doctor of the Triumph, mid myself, accepted the kind oli'e., and all having got on board, wo said .adieu to Captain Brotherton, Mr Fisher j ijcliiof .engineer), and Mr Owens (chief officer), who remained on the Triumph, and ,ence more left the scene.of wreckage. After a pleasant passage of a little over two hours we'ariived at Queen-street wharf at 11 a.m., .having passed tho steamer Blanche, with Mr Wearing and a number of lumpers on board, on her way to the Triumph with the ] •object of securing the remaining cargo from j the newel. 33oaf s Crew Missing. No small amount of anxiety was caused Inst night by the fact that a boat's crew was missing. Yesterday morning, while the wind was not very strong, eight of the bands left in one of tho life-boats on a fich tng excursion to leeward of Tiritiri. Thoy remsined sway longer than was expected, fi.ud whenduek set in no sign of them could be discovered anywhere. They did not turn up during the night, and it was gener ally concluded that they bad been drowned. Fortunately, however, they returned at an early hour this morning, having been under tho lee of n small isls.nd jn tho neighbourhood of Tiritii'i during the whole of the night. aocomniondntlons by tho Surveyors.-No CaM.ee to Got tiio &Uip off. When Messrs Clayton and Worsp, sur veyors, returned to town this morning, they had an interview witn Mr h. D. Nathan, agent of tho vessel. They consider that .there is no chance to get the vessel pit, and f,Vit she will never move .row her present mat*tion until she break, up, and that can- Sicfc he long hence. Thoy recommended that .ok tho remaining cargo, including a portable engine, and four other largo packages containing threshing machinery, Should be raaioved without delay ; that everything belonging to the vessel which could be saved sfcrnld be secured at once and brought to town ; and that the shin should be offered jfo* *ale by public auction as won as possible. All these _-eec.mmondations are being caviled into ■effect The barge Mabel W«J Bteai»e? Blanch*? proceeded down to the wreck this imorniii" fa recover the cargo .stored to. As .hero is u.ow no steam on the TrtUfiM*, and her winches are practically useless, • another winch te assist in the projected operations was -taken with them. The steering gear, which .is f/.ery valuable, will also be saved at once. Value or the Trfn?. «#?. . A great deal of speculation lv« :W ; » to; (Weed in concerning the cost and ,ya,\«P of the wrecked steamer. In the course <pt ; .oonmsation this morning, the engineer .stated ifchat the Triumph originally cost £45,000, of the Hasten, refri gerating apparatus with which she is ft tied,; Ihe was built /.t a time when there was great depression jn trade, ami ironwork was cheap, and ho ewrfders that the same .cwt. act now would not be taken at a less fiK»_-e than £50,000. At- tjw .same time he d-esjwt believe that sho could iwemiredin Aucklftw} under £30,000, and Brutes ihe idea pf paying £8,000 or iJftftOO to float the ship and bring her loto, port. He says that putting the cost .of boating wm.-repairing together it W uld almost bring ®§ total up to the cost of a. new vessel, aud it *lu.uld be remem bered that the Triumph fa flow three years old Hi. further consider, that the engines, <W .at least the best pe_* .of. them could be taken out of the steamer now » is reported that .he ship is insured in^tc, Tyneside companfe*, but it is not definitely known whether or not. his is so. The Official Inquiry. Captain Brotherton and several of his officers have been summoned to attend a court of inquiry into the wreck of tho Triumph which is to be hold here on rhlips day next. The result of the inquiry will, no doubt, be waited for with great interest. The Triumph to he jSold hy Public Auction. The surveyors' recommendation that the Triumph should be sold by public (suction at an early date has been adopted, and accordiugly with tho viow of giving.intepdr •in» purchasers an opportunity to .view; tho vessel as she now lies on the rocks, tl,e c s Penguin w/is chartered by the Agents to'convey excursionists to Tiritiri this afternoon. She started about 4 P.m., having a very large lumber of peoplo on hoard? Many, however, i) 0 doubt went down merely to get a sighv at the vessel .and with no object of PP.^Wf• ~Tf l^ water being smooth and *nnd light, .there W«a overy prospect of a pleasant trip.

LOSS OF THE BARQUE INDIA.

The Resident .Magistrate, H. G. Set-fa Smith, Esq., gave Judgment in the case of tho loss of tha barque India, which oc curred on the 16th #. Kennedy Bay, Hokianga, in command oi Kenneth MeKenzio. The enquiry was held in .fee Courthouse, on Friday last, before* Judge Smith and the Nautical Asseleor, Captain Frater. His Worship said the Court had carefully gone over the evidence, and had come to the conclusion that the loss of the vessel was to to be .attributed to gross care lessness on the part ,of the master. Having remarked upon the main po;nts in the de positions, the Court was ol .cupimon that either the mate or tho icaster, Captain Mackenzie, had been guilty of grog negligence in allowing the ship to drift More in broad daylight. The judgment •of the Court would be the suspension ol the •master's certificate for six months, and to ipay.cests of enquiry, amounting to £0 lbs.
