THE TRIUMPH CATASTROPHE.

FAILURE OF THE «OMPRESSED AIR

EXPERIMENT.

WATER IN ALL PARTS OF THE

STEAMER,

HEX POSITION MORE CRITICAL THAN EVER.

[Br Our Special Rkportkr.]

Great excitement was caused in town last evening by the publication in a Star Second Edition of the following pigeongram which we had just received from the Triumph: — "Send a steamer at once. The ship is in a perilous position. Five feet of water in No. '2 compartment. Foro hold is full,—(Signed)CAi'TAiN* Brotiikuton*. p,S.—Ship nearly on beam ends." The substance of the message was at once com municated to Messrs L. D. Nathan and Co., the agents of the vessel, and steps were im mediately taken to give effect to the request of Captain Brotherton. No steamer was at that time available, and arrangements were mado with the master of the llloiielg, who was about to leave for Tauranga, to call and keep his vessel alongside in the event of emergency, and until further assistance arrived. Tho i'onguin was also chartered, but as she had blown oil' steam, it was found that she could not be mado ready to start until a lato hour last night. The Argyle, however, arrived from Mercury Hay at an opportune moment, and she also was chartered to proceed to Tiritiri, taking Mr Nathan down to the scene of the disas ter. I also took. passage by her, and wo left tho wharf shortly before dusk. Position of tho Strandod Vessel. We arrived in tho vicinity of the Triumph about nine o'clock, but could not dis tin-'uish much in tho darkness as we ap proached. XX e, however, saw that tho ship had a great list to starboard. Captain Norris asked those on board the Triumph if it was safo to come alongside, and tho reply was at first in the negative, and tho Ar"ylo was requested to proceed round °on the port side Subse quently, the chief officer called out to come up amidships on tho starboard side, as it was quite safe. The Argyle accord ingly proceeded to the quarter indicated, and wale fast. We found very little difficulty in getting on board The star board sido of the ship had heeled over to the extent of about, twenty-live degrees, and at the placo where we went alongside, was scarcely more than six feet from tho water* edge. Access to the deck having been gained, further progress was rendered very difficult by the acuto an'do at which the vessel was lying A secure footing was impossible, and wo had to hold tightly on to the sides of tho ship iv order to walk at all. The ship's head appeared to be lower than pre viously, this doubtless being duo to the fact that tho after part of tho ship was very light, owing to tho jettisoning of coal and removal of cargo, while the fore compart ment was full of water. "Wo could hear tho incessant noiso of tho pumps, and I was told ihat the vessel is still making water. A Loss to the Community. Ono of the first items of information vouchsafed to mo on board related to tho violent death of one of our little feathered messengers. It _ appears that when tho perilous position ot tlio ship rendered tho attendance of a steamer necessary, a Star carrier pigeon was taken out of tlio basket to convoy tho intimation of the want to town. Tho message was written nnd made fast to tho bird s leg, and the pi"eon was thrown upward after tho .style usually adopted. In rising, however, it struck against the rigging, and fell dead. The bird in questiou was ono of our oldest and most faithful carriers, and it has re peatedly beon the bearer of budget of news lor the information of tho public. Losing its lifo in the discharge of its duty, its death Ls at least deserving of passing mention, and may bo considered even a loss to tho com munity which it has faithfully served. An other carrier was entrusted with the samo ntU-uon, with tho result that in a very short times steamer was on its way to lintiri.

Brooe-ing Cargo,

We were surprised to hear that a case of broaching cargo had occurred, and had, to somo extent, affected the discipline amongst tho men taken down to assist in the dis charge of cargo. On Wednesday night it was found that the lumpers on- board had broach^ a case of whisky, which was in tho alter hold. The result of this was that,on the following moridng ail theso hands, with the excep tion of six, refused to work, and wero lying about on the deck on their backs, ihey pleaded that they wero afraid to go down the bold incase the ship would founder, but the real cause of their inability or dis inclination to comply with tlie orders given was subsequently discovered.

Crew Ashore,

As we approached Tiritiri, our attention was attracted by three large fares on the island, clow to the beach. .We inquired what they meant, when wo were informed that during the afternoon, when the peril ous position of the ship was discovered, the boats'wero got out,and '« Chinamen and 40 of the vessel's crow and lumpers were sent ashore. They accommodated themselves in three large tents, a fire being built of drift ana other wood in front of each. Towards the middle of the night, those on tho Argyle were awakened by loud veiling on shore as if tho Chinese were sinciPK. After two o'clock everything bee_.no quiet, and two of Hie fires died out while the other continued burning until this morning. The captain, doctor, chief officer (Mr Owens), two engineers, and Mr Oouk remained on board. The Diver Pojyn. When wo roached tho Triumph the Blanche was just about to loavo for Auck land. She bad brought down Mr Haddock, divor, who has taken a contract to get the iron out of the hold at so much per bar. Finding tho ship to bo in a perilous posi tion, ho had his diving gear placed or. board ono of the scows. It was expected that he would go down this morning, in which event it was pretty cortam that tho extent of tlie damage and the actual posi tion of the ship in relation to the rocks would bo ascertained. The genoral opinion is that a <n-eat mistako was mado m not <loin K this previously, beforo tho vessel was further damaged by the tugging and haul dug that has since taken place. A Correction.

En passant,! may mention that I waa re quested to deny the statement in the ''Herald" that the Chinese firemen hatUo iused duty, and had struck in a body. This is really not so, and the officers of the Triumph give their Celestial shipmates credit for working splendidly oven up to tlie last moment, when they were sent on Micro to ensure their owii safety. Tho two engineers havo been doing their own stoking and firing up since the Chinamen left for tho island. None ojf tho Fittings Removed. I was also informed, in answer to a ques tion, that none of tho fittings ocmachincry iiavo yet been removed, the reason being that tho _aip is only insured against total loss. There is not tho slights* doubt that thousands of pounds worth of fittings might liatrß been removed to a placo of safety, and mrineipal amongst the property which I now refer to is the Haslam refrigerator, which could I__M> all been taken away since Mon day or Tuosctey. Souß~lnSß Taken. The ship is very much down by the head, liirough tlie cargo having been all taken Tt aft, while a great deal of coal has been inttisoned The iron and water in the fore rompartmont haye literally forced thebow down. Soundings wero taken just about the rime we came alongside (9 o'clock last Bight), and the forehold was then fujl of water, while there was five feet in No - compartment, and five feet in the sto!£ hold, being closer up under tho boile.B. In faot, thero was water in the ship Horn stem to stern. The pumps were kept going all night, and at one o'clock this morning jho water had been reduced nliw inches n the -stokehole. At 3 o'clock, soundings were again taken, when it was found that the water had been further lessened by six inches, rcakiug 15 inches for tlie day. Tho Glenelg. Tha Glenelg called at tho Triumph on her way down to Tauranga at about 7.30 last nisht She wont alongside and asked if those on board wanted any assistance. An answer was returned in the negative, as ttowas no fo.uwa.iate: danger. The Blanch arrived with the diver about he same time, and the Glenelg, toding that she could-b-oi mum, continued hex paaage to Tauranga. The Blanche eft for Au&. W soon ffterwards, taking Captains W ingand.Worspand.a_.un.bei' of men back with her. y , A C©__"**tation. When tlie Argyle arrived, the Captain of the Triumph, Mr Nathin., .wl Captain ' i ' ■ n «___!

Clayton, held a consultation or. tho posi tion of affairs. It was stated that the Pen guin was expected down about midnight, but it was decided that in any case nothing could bo done until daybreak this morning. lhoAn-yle then hauled oil', wont astern, dropped anchor several hundred yards from the Triumph, awaiting the arrival of the other steamer from Auckland. Recent Operations. - Failure of Com pressed Air. Soon after I went on board the Triumph, I had a conversation with Mr Gouk and Chief-Officer Owens concerning tho opera tions of tho last few days. By dint of numerous questions, I gleaned the following particulars :— " From an early hour on Wed nesday, preparations were proceeding for the attempt to lift the vessel by means of com pressed air pumped into the forehold by the refrigerating apparatus. Iron pipino was laid from the refrigerator into the fore compartment, and the 'tween hatchway was decked and cemented. About eleveno'clock on Wednesday night, the machine started to pump the air into the forehold, but leaks of such a serious nature were discovered that operations were necessarily stopped in order that they might be closed up. At 1 a.m. on Thursday, or two hours later, air pressure was put on again, but the leaks were still so great that it was quite useless to continue. Another effort waa made to have them closed up, and after a further interval tho air-pumping was resumed. Effect of the Pressure Tlii.s time a pressure of live pounds to the square inch was obtained, but the effect on tho vessel was at once seen. Leaks became apparent in tie forecastle, in tho vicinity of the chain plates, and in other places. In deed, the air was coming through some of ,the crevices with sufficient force to knock a man off his legs. Thoy went easy again until some of these leaks were stopped up, but at 11 o'clock thoy found it, neces sary to abandon tho attempt altogether, it being impossible to get the openings effectually closed up. Mr Gouk beliovas that they would have succeeded in lifting the steamer if the circumstances had been at all favourable. A Scaro.--T_ie Ship Heels Over. About two o'clock yesterday morning, the Triumph, which had previously listed slightly to port, suddenly righted herself, and then heeled over very much to star board, to the extremo terror of many of those on board. They came hurrying up on deck, believing that she was about to founder. Tho starboard rail was at that time within seven feet of tho water. The kotch Start and cutter Zillah wero alongside at tho time, and those on board wero frightened to such an extent that they proceeded to* lot go the mooring ropos by which they were mado fast to the larger ship. Mr Gouk called out asking what thoy were doing, and thoy replied, " The vessel is coming right ovor on top of us." Tho pumps wore going at that time, and the boats were got into the water ready for emergency. The necessity . for this latter step is evident from tho fact that there were about eighty souls on board. Ship Making Wator Fast The steamer, however, showed no Immo diato signs of sottling down, and tlio alarm having subsided, an examination was mado. It was found that the forehold was full of water, that thero was fivo foot in No. 2 compartment, where the refrigerator is situated, and livo feet in the stoko-holo, rising almost up to the bottom of the boilors. Opinions were divided regarding tlis cause of this water-making. Some were of opinion that the bulkheads had given way, but Mr Gouk does not believe this to bo at all likely, A satisfactory sign lay in the fact that tho pumping operations reduced the height of the water aft. Cargo Nearly All Out, Whilo the compressed air oxporiment was being tried tho Zillah and Start wero load ing cargo as rapidly as _>ossiblo, and with such an amount of success that all had beon got out except three largo threshing machines, when tho lumpers refused to con.1 tinuo work. Thero is also, of courso, the ,"100 tons of iron in tho forohold, und it is likoly that that will bo moved now.

Tho crew was taken ashore yeseorday afternoon. Tho men did not offer any objection whatever to go ashore, Six boats removed thorn, and No. 7 cutter lay along side waiting upon the olliecrs on b;.nrd in case of emergency. The Ponguln Goes Down. The steamer Penguin was chartered last ovening to go down, but owing to the fact that steam had beon blown off and the boilers being red hot and requiring cooling before water could be put in them, it was midnight beforo sho got away. Amongst those on board wore Mr Thomas Hill, (Collector of Customs), Captain McKon.ie (Harbour Master), Mr Hawkeswood, press representatives, agents, clerks, and others. Captain Cromarty was very kind to his pas sengers, and mndo them as comfortable as possible under the circumstannces. Tiritiri was reached nt 230 a.m., and several bluo lights having boen shown from the various vessels, a boat with Mr Nathan on board, proceeded to tho Penguin. Messrs Nathan, Hill, McKenzie, Cromarty, and others wont oil to the Triumph, and returned some time after wards with Captain Brotherton, who enmo to town to consult his legal adviser. Tho Penguin reached town at eight o'clock this mornintr, and tho Argylo followed soon afterwards. Tho latter vessel returned to the Triumph with tho captain and others . about one o'clock.

Pontoons Suggested for Floating tho Vossol.

During the passage of the Penguin back to port, Mr Hawkeswood laid before Mr Nathan and Captain Brotherton a scheme for lifting the hoad of tho Triumph with four large iron pontoons, and then wheiv she floated off to tow her to Auckland with the pontoons still under her to support her. Captain Brother ton doubted that the idea could be carried out owing to the difficulty of gotting the chains under the vessel's keel, but Mr Hawkeswood is sanguine that any difficulty in that direction could be overcome. His scheme has "been freely discussed in town to-day, and is generally approved of, the prevailing idea being that if this method of lifting had been adopted at first, instead of tearing tho vessels bottom to pieces, she would by this time have beon in Auckland harbour. Tho proposal is still under con sideration.

TiniTim, 3.1.5 p.m,

It has been raining hard all day, and I am afraid some of our carriers will not reach home in time for to-night's issue. The crew, who passed the night on shore, have returned to the ship, and aro at work

again. Dr Menzies has never left tho ship ? pre ferring to remain with the other officers. The engineers had a veryhoavy night doing the stokers' work, clearing the pipes that were choked up, etc. Captain Biotheiton has just returned by tho Argyle, which will romain alongside night and day. The Penguin, I under stand, will not return. Efforts will now bo directed towards keeping tho vessel on tho rooks in order to save the remainder of the cargo, machinery, &c. An anchor has' been thrown out forward to assist in koep ing tho vessel in her present pceture. Tho pumping operations haye continued all day, and the water in the stoke-hole is still being reduced. The starboard list has beon somewhat lessoned.

RETURN OF THE TE AROHA EXCURSIONISTS.

[BY TELEORAPn.— OWN REPOr_T_.il.]

Thames, this day. Tiik steamer Waiton started on her return trip precisely at 7 a.m., with the bulk of the excursionists on board. Councillors Waddel, Fleming, and Crowthoi, along with Mr Murray, of tiio Bank of New Zealand, who had gold in charge, started two hours earlier by the Despatch ; whilo Councillors Thompson, Aickin, l'liillipps, and Laßochc, and Professors Brown and Tucker remained behind for tho purpose of making an overland trip by coach to Hamil ton, coming on thence by rail on Saturday. Messrs J. C. Firth and'J. M. Clark also stayed behind. As the Waitoa cast off, cheers were given for Messrs Firth and Clark, and on the former's proposition, for the Mayor and City Councillors of Auckland. Mr Clark responded by calling for three cheers for Mr Wad del (Mayor-elect), which wore also cordially given. The stenmor began her passage inauspiciously by crashing down upon the new railway bridge, carrying away some of the timber, and running imminent risk of bringing down upon herself a huge pile-driver. She carried away twelve feet of the bulwarks, smashing in the oook's galley, to tho great alarm of of its occupant, who ran out with his lifo in his hands, leaving his pots, pans, and dishoK to a remorseless fato. The more timorous passengers made a dash for tho stern, and propared to cast themselves into the river should occasion arise. However, it didn't, and their fears, as well as tho sensation on shore, woro soon allayed. Tho trip was then resumed, but the prospect of lino weather proved a disappointment, as a steady drizzle set, in. The steamer arrived nt Thames at, 1.10.
