which may have some scientific value. Early in the March of 1881, Cosamiccioln, on the Island of Ischia, was lnkt in ruins and Srio a month later was tho eoene -of a similar catastrophe. This year Ischia has suffer?'! again, and, though after a longer interval, Scio has suffered also.

A Constantinople telegram, dated ISth October, says :—Further details respecting the terrible calamity which visited the Krythean Peninsula on the 15th and loth fully confirm the first estimates of the number of lives lost. The villages which bore the brunt of devastation wero Kato panayn, Keis, Dere and Lidja. These were merely unrecognisable heaps.of ruins, with scarcely a wall left standing. Lidja en joyed high local celebrity for its baths, which were a favourite resort during the season for health-seekers from Smyrna ami the neighbouring towns. Now nil is confusion and desolation, forming a dismal contrast to former life and gaiety. Tho accounts of the wretched con dition of the homeless and starving survivors are heartrending. At one blow these miser able people have lost present positions and future means of livelihood. Their dwellings and other buildings nre shapeless masses of ruin, their flocks and herds are dead or dis persed, and the fruitß of years of toil have been swallowed up in a day. They have no food, and unless adequate assistance is speedily at hand,many of them must perish oi' famine. At present they are huddled together out in the open air, not daring to tako refuge in any of tho buildings still loft standing, or to construct sheds for them selves out of the ruins, lest another shock should come and involve them in the fate of their neighbours and relatives. A few of thorn have made their, way to Chesmeh, and other fugitives have readied Smyrna. They all tell the same pitiful Ftory of destruction and suffering, of corpses buried in ruined dwellings, of wounded men, women and children without medical aid, of hunger and exposure. The authori ties at Smyrna have acted with much promptitude, and have already despatched quantities of provisions to the district which has most severely suffered. But tho number of those left destitute is so great that the official estimate places it at 20,000, and that the charity, official and private, of Smyrna alone cannot cope with the die tress. There is little trustworthy informa tion yet to hand from Chios. It is known, however, that many houses were thrown down in the island, and though the frag mentary accounts hitherto received contain no mention of loss of life, it seems scarcely likely that all should have escaped.

THE TRIUMPH CATASTROPHE.

ALTERATION IN POSITION OP THE

STEAMER.

Effects of a North-Easter on tho Vessel.

(By Our Special Reporter.)

As I predicted, the Triumph had a lively time during Saturday night. Tho north east wind which set in on the previous evening continued, but did not blow with great force, so thai tho position of the vessel had not materially altered up to Sun day moruing. The crew again camped ashore during the night, which was by no means a ploosant one even on the leewurd side of the island, owing to the downpour of rain, for which the men wero not well pie pared beyond having shelter from some tents which had been hurriedly erected. A Trip in tho WaitaUl. Two o'clock yesterday afternoon found me on board of tho Kaino Company's /steamer Waitaki, bound on an excursion to the Triumph. Shortly after the hour flawed, the steamer started from the ivharf, having between three and four Fjundred people on board, including a large uumber of ladies and children. A stiff worth-east breeze was blowing,and there ap peared every prospect of a rather rough pas sage, not to speak of the circumstance that there was erery indication of heavy rain. All went well until we had passed tho reef, when many of tno excursionists, who had before been very jolly, and evidently on joying the motion of the vessel, began to show signs of sea-sickness. Before wiiT had got half orer the trip down, the month - east swell made the steamer very iivel}', and the effect of the increased rnotios iras soon apparent. The lee-rail was packed closely in a very brief space of time with unfortunates, and the number of these eventually swelled to such an extent that they threatened to also oeoupv the weather rail. The "pleasure"' of the trip only the few could appreciate. Even when we came in view of the Triumph, many wero so per fectly indifferent to everything except a speedy return home that they scarcely fctvoured the unfortunate ship with more •ihaji a casual glance. On board of tho Waitoki wero ths doctor and purser of 'the Triumph, who, like myself, wero anxfons to be placed on their «hip. Captain Crawford was nsked by the doctor to put tfoajn on board in one of his Swats, but considering the gale that was blowing he refused," although he had ordered a. boat to bo lowered and subse quently had it hauled up again, A signal was then hoisted or the Waitaki for a boat to come off from the Triumph, aud after r«rfiie time it was responded'to by a crew ■comprising Captain Brotherton, the chief ynate and other officers of the ship, ajl other bands belonging to the vessel being ashore. They puiWl alongside of the Waitaki and took the doctor in, but refused to take the ipurser or myself because "there were enough on the"ship to save already." The purser, therefore, had to return to town, While I had similarly to be contented. Tiio Position of tue Vessel. Lotting at the Triumph from the deck of titie wii^aki, there did not seem to be any material iteration in her position since Saturday. The surf caused by the north ,east wind \fivik was blowing broke heavily #"ainst her, and now and again tho water could be seen rushicg out of the scuppers rtn ilie lower side. The vessel appeared to be dasei'ted, for nobody, was to be seen on iier deck*.- There was no iwiie/ition that the pumps irere going, and, judging from appearances, & was generally concluded that the fires mi bean allowed to die out. This, of cohf»£>, meant that pump ing operations had been stopped, and, there fore, that the water was increasing in the vessel, because even when the pumps are kept goicg it can just be kept under. Several tents were in view to leeward of the island, and a. number of men could be seen on the beach ami rocks. This taken with the circumstance that tho boat which came io the Waitaki was rowed by officers.led to the conclusion that the latter were the only persons remaining on board of the vessel, .and it was not likely that they would stay there through the night. Incorrect Reports. It was a matter of impossibility to obtain •any particulai-3 respecting the condition of tho vessel while Captain Brotherton was alongside of tho Waitaki, for his boat .stood in great danger of being dashed to pieces against the sides of the steamer, and £ne moment the doctor had jumped in he p^ave orders for tho men to pull off, and !altheug4i questions were put as to "how' *heir vessel was getting on," thoy were not •ansvzered. J have been repeatedly asked by officers «f ,th<3 Triumph to correct absurd statements which Jia*-e appeared in our jnorning contemporary whose " despatches" «Hi<iy be from any whom .except Tiritiri. The -Tiesiest complaints that -fciw old lady will (parsisit JLa putting words into then' mouths which'tfcay never uttered or even dreamed, and that soft of thing is, of course, exceed-? ijngly unnoyMig, Take the following, form-; stance, which anpearsjn this morning's issue of the "Herald";---"Captain Brotherton vwlled alongside the .Waitaki, and in answer. Io questions said that the vessel was hold fin^ wall, but that it would be so uncomfort able to >Jiop on board ho had determined to remain m Tiritiri for the night with Jus ether offieejes jjnd crew. The vessel was not making very much water, and he had; Slopes that she would live out the present •gale, although there svas the chance of a iheavy *oli of the soa.lifting tho vessel bodily off theTocks, aad if such happened he did not doubt but that she would go down or drift: broadside on to the rocks inshore of the reef en which she was now fixed," Nothing. eouW possibly be more incorrect. I was .standing1 close to the boat for tho few -seconds tiiot she was alongside, rfhd no statement o{ the kind was made. As a: raatter of fact, t Captain Brotherton. when fflome distance off, called out "What do you want*" juidhewafc informed that "the' .doctor and purser wanted if) go on board of the Triumph." He directed fhe men to. gull alongside, and said to the doctor, ■"Well, come in,' jjjidthen ordered the men fao pull away again. The purser and my-■ self spolied to he tajw» to the Triumph, hut Captain Brotherton replied "No, we, Save enough here to save already." Nothing further transpired, and Captain. Brotherton never eaid a word about Ins ■"hopes and fears" and possibilities and : pobabilitic, as the "Herald's' neat little speech, which ia made for the eaptaln, would have us believe. The Waitaki returned to the wharf about

C.30 p.m., the passage back having been accomplished considerably under two hours.

Tho Blanche on tho Sceno,

Messrs L. D. Nathan being anxious to keep a steamer near tho Triumph in case of her services being required during Sunday night, endeavoured to secure the Blanche with this object in view. Captain Hopkins, however, objected remaining there all night, the weather being so bad, but he offa'cd to convey any letters to Tiritiri and return directly. This proposal was ac cepted, and the Blancho left for the scene about :i.HO p.m., and arrived on the lee ward side of Tiritiri about three hours later. Some of tho crew were camped there, and they came off in a boat and received the letters. Captain Hopkins asked them "how the vessel was getting on," and they replied that. " she was in the same place." The Blanche left Tiritiri at <).4;> p.m., and reached Queen-street Wharf two hours later, having made a lost passage up before a strong northerly breeze

A Boat's Crow Arrive In Auckland.

One of the Triumph's boats, with a number of tho crew, in charge of the third mate, arrived here yesterday afternoon, after a stormy trip from Tiritiri. The wind, however, being northerly, enabled them to make a smart run up. Their ser vices not being required at the island or on the steamer, they have been granted per mission to remain in town.

TO-DAY'S OPERATIONS AT TIRITIRI.

A Chango in Position.

The following was published in a Star "Extra" enrly to-day :—" The steamer \\ airavapa, which arrived from the South about eight o'clock this morning, passed the Triumph, but not close onough to enable those on board to see the vessel clearly. The officers of the Wairarapa say that it ms so foggy at the timo that they could merely conclude that there wns a vessel on the rocks, and could not say what condition she was in. Later on the weather cleared up, and it was seen from Mount Victoria and other elevated points that the position of the Triumph had altered materially. Her stern has swung round towards Tiritiri, and she appeared to be broad side on to the rocks. The weather being rough and wind from N.E., she will probably break up soon." The Broaching Cargo Businow. One of the lumpers named John Starkie wishes to make a fow remarks respecting the conduct of the lumpers when the vtssel fell over on her starboard side. He says : At 2 o'clock on Friday morning there wcro 22 lumpers on board of the Triumph. There were then only two men drunk on board amongst us. There was nothing broached but a case of port wine—not whisky, as has been wrongly stated — and the Customhouse officer found that in the hands of one man on Thurs day evening, and reported the matter to the captain. With reference to the statement that the lumpors refused to work aftor the vessel heeled over to starboard, he states that this only refers to eight or nine of them. In the morning seven men wero in the bunker tilling baskets witli Coal, and a number wore on deck reccivingthebasketsns they wero hauled up. They continued at this work until they wore ordered by the captain to man the boats and leave the vessel, which was between 11 and 12 o'clock in the morning. He wishes it particularly understood that only eight or nine out of the twenty-two refused to work, becauso they wero afraid to go into the bunkers, and also that it was port wine and not whisky that was broached. Tenders for Floating the Triumph. Eight tenders have been received for iloating the Triumph and delivery of tho vessel in Auckland Harbour, but they have not yet been opened. Tho following par ticulars, however, have transpired :— Mr Uawkeswoad offers to undertako the work for i'S,CO\ conditional that he receives 73 per cent, as tho work proceeds. Mr D. Houk agrees to undertako tho work for £9,000, unconditionally. MrilCaulgives his price at £10,000, making it conditional that the agents shall deposit tIOO with his £1,000, and that he will forfeit his deposit should ho not succeed in the undertaking. Mr C. Bailey's tender is £15,000 un conditional, and Mr Fnwer's £9,100, also said to be unconditional. The tendors are to be opened by Captain Brotherton, who arrived by the Argylo late this afternoon. No Tender Accepted. Since tho above was in type we have been informed that no tenders have been openod, and none will be accepted owing to the change in position of the vessel. News by tlio Argyle. Captain Brotherton, who was it passenger by tho Argyle, which arrived^ Irani the Triumph late this afternoon, states that the vessel Is further up on the rocks than ever. On Sunday night the gale incroased and carried the vessel's stern up against the cliff, leaving her bow still on the reef, but moved somewhat. She if, however, more firmly fixed than before, and hardly moves with the motion of the waves, which are very rough. Mr Owens, chief oilicer, is still on board. A Statemout by the Dlvor. Surprise has repeatedly been expressed that a diver was not sent down to examine the position of the vessel, and ascertain whether the rocks were really through her bottom before so much power was used in the efforts to haul her off. I am informed by Mr Haddock, the diver, that he at first arranged to go down, survey, and report for £2,0 a day, but Mr Nathan subsequently refused to consent to the agreement made by his cleric, A .contract was subse quently made by Mr Haddock to put the iron in slings at 2s per bar, but when ho went down there was no one to take the hatches off, and ho was informpd that he could only work two hours of each tide. This was not considered good enough. Mr Haddock further says that the whole of the 1,500 bars of iron might have been taken out by last Tuesday, at a cost of less than £150, if stops had been taken at once.

LATER DESPATCH.

The Vessel Driven Broadside on to Tiritiri. Bocks Showing Through Her Engine. room.

The pilot sehoonor, which was in the vicinity of the Triumph about 10 o'clock this morning, brought fuller particulars re specting her change in position. It appears that during the gale on Sunday nfgbt the Triumph was lifted bodily from the position which sho held with her bow on the rocks, and her cables, which wero out, having parted, she drifted broadside on to Tiritiri, and when the pilot schooner left, her stern was on the rocks with the pro peller out of water, while a large rock was right under the engine-room. The sea was making clean breeches over her decks, and the pjospect of (bating her appeared worse than ever. ■»

ALLEGED ROBBERY.

As incident of a most sensational character occurred in the Hobson Hotel on Saturday evening, i)v. Menzies, of tho Triumph, who had been stopping there on that and the pro vious day, reported that ho had been robbed of his gold chronograph stop watch, valued at 75 guineas, double gold albeit lockot and pencil, valued at f]o, and a purse with £4 in gold. He said that he had placed them near the looking-glass on his table, and that he went out for a time, but on his return found that they had disappeared. The detectives proceeded to the hotel, and made a thorough search, but without finding anything to lead to the discovery of tho perpetrator of the alloged robbery. Considering the excellent reputation which tho house bears, they did not even expect to be successful in their search there. Dr. Menzies stated that duriug the evening a third-class passenger by the Triumph was in his room chatting with him, and that they went down the street together, but ho did not for a moment suspect him of being the delinquent. The detectives, however, thought otherwise, and determined upon further and immediate steps in tho matter. Yesterday morn ing, however, Dr, Menzies informed Mr Milne, tho proprietor of the hotel, that tho jwollery had been returned to him, having been taken by the passenger in question on Saturday night "for alark." No further explanation was inadp. Mr Milne is naturally indignant at the reflec tion which has thus been cast upon his house and inmates, and he is determined to push the matter to extremes. Further de veiopmpnts will bo awaited with interest. Since the above was in type, David Fine gnn, the third-clagppassengerreferredto,has been airested for scaling jewellery, value £91, the property of Janit-3 Menzies.'

[itV TELEGRAPH,—OWN COHHKSPONDKNT.)

Christuhurcii, this day. ' Tim Sarah W. Hunt, schoonor, 115 tons, arrived at Lyttclton on Saturday night from Campboll Island, about 100 miles from New Zealand, thirteen days out. Sho had fifteen men on board, who left her in boats to hunt- for seals, and bad weather ooming on, . they nover returned. The captain and steward were thus left to manage . a vessel of more than a hundred tons. Thoy did their best to discover what had become of the missing crew, but tho weather was against them, and thoy had to loavo alone; ami, unaided, theso two men navigated tho schooner to Lyttelton, where sho arrived on Saturday night. Whether tho crew aro lost or are still on the island is at presont unknown, but no doubt efforts will bo mado to dis covor their fate and to rescue them if still alive.

It cured me of sovere pains in the back brought on by over-exertion in rowing. It is a pleasant, safo, and Buro remedy, penetrating at onco to tho seat of tho disease, and eradicating the com plaint without further trouble." Tho writer listened attentively to the above.
