ON BOARD THE WAIRARAPA.

Gisbobnk, 10 run

Tho Extent of tbo Damage. Very little damage was sustained by tho cargo,asitwas found thattho firo did not get into the hold. The vejsol presents a terrible scene of wreckage though great efforts nave been made to cloar it up.

The losses among individual passengers is (ome oases are very large, including watches, money, and c'othing, and each psckges as were in the cabins, but it ii impossible to definitely ascertained the louiifsch case

Accidents. JtoComrie, the stewardess, was burnt (emeiy about her hands and back, when it was coming through tho flames, but ib b now doing well. The chiof st«»ard (Rabbits) had a narrow escape from (uffation whilst trying to save the pUte, and one of tho offico mon had his e;e brows singed. One of the passengers la stated that he found his pocket-book with a number of notes removed from it, ud several other passengers make very Urge atatemonts as to tho extent of their Ids,

The vessel goes on to Auckland at 11, taking the original paesengors, but no now KM,

Vhe electric light and steam-steering raoecßons were destroyed.

Origin. 'ft has been suggested that ono of tho [tarn-pipes heated the woodwork till it hited. It is also Baid that smoke coming npthrougb the ventilators gave tho first in dication of fire.
