THE S.S. TRIUMPH.

SUCCESS OF THE OPERATIONS.

f 0 THE VESSEL FLOATED OFFTO-DAY.

CiRKAT exeiteinont prevailed in town this morningwhen, throughthcmediuinof aSTAR extra, it became known-that the steamer 1 Triumph had been floated off tho rocks at Tiritiri, and had made somO progress ~vtowards the harbour. Crowdsfjrf People 'soon congregated on the wharves and other ,'ioinga of vantage, momentarily expecting «to see tho vessel appear coming wound the r* North Head, but they were disippointed. I „,■ At 10 o'clock it became known that thoves if sel was stationary, apparently about n mile from Tiri. , fl ~_ Tlio Operations for Floating, » At this juncture a brief description of the •operations for floating tho vessel will be of - ij interest. Tliero aro two pumps fixed in the ,p No. 2 hatch, both of which aro driven by a portable engine The keeping of the wCter down in this part of tho vessel was expected to be tho most formidable job, ft« at high tide the wator is awash of tho hutch comb, ings. Tho sliip'6 donkey-engine is utilised in keeping tho water out of the No. 3 hatch and the engine-room. Mr Frasov was quite convinced that tho pumps on board wojiia bo sufficient to keep tho vessel afloat U once she woh got off the rocks. It wan pretty wmerallv known in town Wat air Fraser intended to make an attempt to float the vessel yesterday morning. The rise of the tide, however, was not satisfactory, and the trial was postponed till to-day. Tho Vessel passes to Leeward of Tiritiri. About 11 o'clook it was reported in towi that tho Triumph had passed to leeward of Tiritiri sometwoor three miles. TheWaitaH immediately started to hor assistance, A white flag was hoisted at the signal statiot to intimate that the Triumph is now out oi eight. As tl>e afternoon wore on it was reported to us that a two-masted steamer could bo seen making towards the Triumph, and subsequently we learnt, that this steamer had tho Triumph in tow. A signal from' Mount Victoria, " Steamer coastwise inuide Tiri," bore out this story, Tho cause of tho drifting of tho vessel to leeward has been tho subject of much gpeoulation during the day. The vessel had two anchors on board, and it seems plain that if those in charge wished to prevent her drifting to the lee wanl of Tiri, they might have prevented it. T}>s vossel, however, had no efficient ateerlngapparatus. Thedamagedstateofthe bows and the tenderness of tho bulkheads would rendoritfldvisablotosteain ahead, and O ny progress she n»ade hatbourwards would need to bo made stern first. Several of those who saw the vessel this afternoon state that she had a strong list to starboard. IT TRAXSI'inED • to-day tftfit yesterday Mr Fraser, to satisfy jiimself by personal observation that nil was right below, (jlonned the diver's dress, and was below for 20 minutes. The Vessel Anchored. At 3.30, it was reported t)u>t the vessel had corae to an anchorage inside Tirjtiri. | T»B WAITAKI TOWING HER UF. At four o'clock the steamer Waitaki was towingi tho Triumph up. She was thon three wiles this Bide of Tirittii

Steamer Chattered by the "Star."

Shortly after eleven o'clock, when it became evident that something was the matter with the Tiiumph, and tiuitshe could not come etraiglt on to Auckiac4, the proprietor of the StLr made arrangements for chartering a steaher to convey a reporter ojjt to the scene.j with instructions to go on to TVaiwira and tetegraph full particulars of tie operations from there. At rangenents for the use ol the steamer Blancje were raado with Mr John f- fl mb, to wjom we have to express our in dobteinesa for the prompt way in which the vessel was got ready for service. The stearssr with the Star reporter aboard left QueeUtreet Wharf about a quarter to 12 o'clpik.
