the case. Rome alarm was caused soon

after midnight by the steamer rising once with tho swell and coming down with a sudden bump. Many of the men on board fancied that she was going down, and some of them came running on deck. Thoir fears wore, however, allayed by finding tho ship in exactly tho same position, no change having been effected by the motion. Conversation with the Surgeon. Whilo thepreparations for towing oft were proceeding, 1 had a conversation with Dr. Alenzies in reference to the withholding of tho gratuities which are usually paid to the captain and doctor. The paragraphs pub lished might have led to the inference that there were improprieties between the otiicors and immigrants,' but Dr. Menzies says there wore none such, and if there was anything of tho kind at all, it was between some of the pas pongova and the immigrant!". There is a strong feeling of sympathy in the ship for Captain Brothcrton in his misfortune, and those under him all speak very highly of him. It may bo added, en passant, that he has held a command since he reached the ai'e of twenty-two, and at the present time ho is considerably under forty years of age. This in said to be the first mishap that has ever occurred to a vessel under his charge. Preparations on Board. A large atnlVof shipwrights were vigor ously employed in the forehold from daybreak, and soino particulars of the work buing done by them should prove in teresting. The water having been pumped lon*,tho tweon hatches of the forehold were put'on, and were then firmly fastened and all the crevices caulked. Heavy planks were placed across, and upright beams iixed between them and the upper deck, and then wedged tightly. This is known to tho trade as shoring up, The 'tween deck was fastened m a similar manner, so that it might withstand a great pressure of water, while tho bulkheads wore also shored up from the middle hold. When this was completed, it, was reckoned that if tho vessel was hauled off and any number of plates torn out, tho water would bu con tineii to the fore compartment. These compartments, however, only extend as fai ns tho 'tweon deck, so that it was known that if tho hatch should burst or the shoring bctwoon prove insullicient to withstand tho pressure, the ship would bo Hooded in a few minutes, mid wo\ild go down, Tho Attompt. Shortly bofore oight o'clock everything was ready for tho start. The tilenelg took a line from tho Triumph's bow, while an inch wire rope was carried from her stern to the Wuituki. Another wire rope was taken out from the stern by tho lona, but in running it out taut she went full speed ahead, and carried it clean out from its fas tenings iv the Triumph. Tho Arjjylo had been mado fast alongside, with her head pointin" in the sume direction ns the largo vessel'Aead. Heavy rain .fell just when th» order Mas given to commence operations, but tho interest of Jthe spectators was bo great that they clustered about tho dock watching the proceedings, and wholly indifferent to tho wetting which tikoy wore getting. The order to Rtart the Triumph's engines was at last given, ami simultaneously the linos con necting with tha Waitaki and Argyle tightened up. Everyone watched the rocks anxiously, and waitod for tho ship to movo, but thoro was not tho slightest motion apparent beyond the vibration i;ausod by tlio working of her own ponderous maohinery. The tide was vory high, and the steamer's Btern and hoad both rose Slightly with tho tido. Tho Glenelg had not commenced to tow at this time, those on board being engaged in sending a line to the lona, which was somo dis tance ahead of her. The Glonolg's engines were at last started, and immediately after wards

Tho Triumph's Stern Swung Round about live degrees. The lona also got her power to bear, and the four vessels were then hard at it. The ship's hoad did not, fwweYor, move at all, nnd it was apparent to the most casual observer that tho attempt was ft failure. Soon afterwards tlio lona's Sine parted, and sho camo round to the Triumph's storn and ran out another, but before it was hauled taut tho Glenelg had .also carried nway hers, the Waitaki's lino-sprinc following suit. Delay was caused by both mishaps, but during an interval the ongines of the other three vessels woro working steadily. After an attompt of something like an hour, the order was given to stop, and tho attompt was abandoned.

Tho Scone from tho Glenelg.

A* yiewed from tho Glenelg the sccno was of a most intensely interesting character. The prospect of the Triumph bemg^ towed off from tfw first seemed very poor, but yet tho baro possibility of such a pieco of good fortune caused All on boaid to pay the utmostattentiontoiheprogressof operations. Tho Glonelo- was made fast to tho Triumph ivith a largo haWEer, and tho full power of her engines having been brought to bear, site tucged away steadily, until suddenly tha rope carried away, and she was adrift. Afc ouo time those on board raised a cry that tho Triumph iras moving, and it did appear that tho distance between hor bow and the cliff was increas ing. So much were some irnpresied with the circumstance that they recommended that everybody should get ready to give three miffing cheers. The delusion, hoir &yer, was speedily dispelled when it was pointed out ts»t tho wind had changed Suddenly, and that tho Glenolg was drifting ±o leeward, which movement gave rise to iho false alarm. Accident to tho Zlllaft. At this time the, breezo had freshened from the westward, and although tho ship was practically sheltered, there was a nasty back wash alongside Several chip's boats were in danger of swamping, sod were shifted with considerable difficulty. The ketches alongside ware also bumping irather heavily. An efl'ort.was made to clear the ZiUah, which was light, but before this could be done, a portion of her rail and stanchion owned away, and a plank in her port Bide was stove in. Sha was ereti tually (rod round under tho lee of the Waitald Tho Situation, A consultation was then held by Messrs Clayton and Worsp, Captain Bratherton ana Mr Nathan. The surveyors recom mouded that the remainder of the cargo should bo taken out, and that the yeanel should be ballasted aft, and that a further attempt by greater 'power; should bo made. The position after the attemnt becamo a great deal more serious 4han before. Captafr Burgess was of opi nion that the ship shoujd be abandoned to tho underwriters, whilo during conversa tion tho surveyor pointed out that the feest course would be to sho^e her up staunchly, deepen her stern .more, and foy the use of great power, such, as that afforded by one of the Union boats,; Jiaul her off. This, of course, wpuld: literally tear the bow out of her. It was jtiso suggested that dynamite should be asfcd to remove part of the rock. The aotiow of this explosive is downward, and the ship could not bo more damaged by it fthan Bhe U at present, Tho employment ■of divers and tho removal of the railway iron from the iorohold was also suggested, ; Return of ilio Steamers. TheWaitaki returned to town,at 1.15 p.m. yeßtisrday, after a passage of 1 hour 45 jninutos, while the Gleneig, which left Tiri tiri an hour later, made the trip up in two fcours. The lona had .re turned «owe fime previous to tho WaitaW, The Argyle p.ame up lato last night, Shaving on board .Captain Nearing, Mr D. Govrk, and a number qf men who had been working very hard in ikft necossary prepar ations.

At the conclusichj pi tho consultation Yesterday morning, it *»s known that the captain had decided M> Abandon tho steamer to the .Underwrites. He made ■an ofler to tliat effect th?s ffiprmng ■through Mr L. D. Nathan *>.«(; the local agcntß of Lloyd's (Messrs Brown, Campbell and Co.) refusod tqtuko her over. No special reason was assigned, thoordinary •course being either to accept or refuse. Mr Nathan forwarded a cablegram to Lloyds .at England, informing them of the refusal, and nothing further will be done (Juntil an .answer is received, beyond the landing of .cargo, and deepening in the stern. Doparturo of tl\e Argylo. The Ar^yle left again for the scene of the wreck thU morning. She had on board Captain NeaW.ng and a further dotachment of workmen, t£<? marine surveyors, and otters. It was intended to continue tho operations as heretofore, in view of a fur ther attempt to get the .vessel ffl. What the natuie of that attempt will bo fee? not yet been deeidsd. ; Ihe Anne afilbank Alongsiclo. i Tho steamer Anrjfe Ifilbank called at .tho TrifimDh this morning at seven o'clock on &ier way up from the Hot Springs. She he.i oniward a very great deal : oi engineer in" talent A boat was lowered, and a party, including Captain Anderson, the masters of the Embleton, Bengal, and Helen Denny,

and Messrs G. Fraser, James Stewart, Lodder, Black, and others, vent nn board. Ihey found the cutter Start taking in general enrgo from the main hatch, while tho Zillall had on board a quantity of railway iron. Both lightcrf ox. pocted to get away about noon, there was a very little wind, and what' there was, appeared to be from the South. A ketch had just arrived to receive cargo About 300 tons has already been landed, including all the cargo shipped here. The people on board had just commenced to get out a large hawser, which will be used if the Tnrnwern makes an attempt to tow the vessel off. Captain of tho Bongal on tho Position The captain of the Bengal expresses him self of opinion that tho Triumph can bo got oil' if proper appliances are used. He saw the Sorata, a ship of ;j,OOO tons, when she went ashore at Adelaide, anil he considers she was in a much worse position than that of the Triumph. She was also half-tilled with water. His idea is that the Triumph can also bo got ott' if tho action taken is prompt, and if the weather holds good. A stiff north-easter would be almost certain to convert the vessel into a total wreck. Kefrlgorator on Board. There is a splendid Haslam refrigerator on|tho|Triumph, with duplicate parts, all the latest improvements, and everything for working twelve months. It was con sidered by those who called this morning that the refrigorator should bo removed at once. It could betaken out in two days. Conference of Englnoors. A conference of engineers, consisting of Messrs lioorgo Fraser, W. Loddor, .lames Stewart, (Jeorge Black (Thames), David (louk, and Captain Heale, was held this afternoon in the office of the Kama Coal (Jo. for the purpose of considering the feasibility, or otherwise of lifting the Triumph oil'the rocks intodcop water with the agency of compressed air. It was gonorally agreed that tho project was feasible, ami eventually a proposition was adopted, which it was resolved to at once submit to the agents of tho vessel, Messrs L. D. Nathan and Co. Its terms, however, havo not yet transpired. Why Lloyd's Agonts Rofuso to Tako tho Vossol. It is uoally not known who tho undor writors of the vessel are, and the amounts of insurances aro not known. Messrs Jrown, Campbell, and Co., the local agents of Lloyd's, refused to take tho ■essel when tho odor of abandonment was made, because they do not know whether she is insured in Lloyd's or not, and they would not do so until tho enquiry. If they wore to havo accepted, they might havo incurred expense and risk, and then found that Lloyds was not concerned. Other companies involved, would instruct their own ngents. Danger to Those on Board. It is pointed out that in the event of a suddon N.E. gale the vessel might go to pieces iv a vory short time, add the seventy linnds on board would bo in Jtho greatest poiil. The cliQ's are so stcop that thoy could not scalo them ovon if thoy should reach tho Miore.
