AS this dispatch is sent one of the
tugs seems to have been able to get
alongside the Madiana. The weather is
moderating, but some hours must
elapse before it is possible to obtain
from the passengers the details of the
disaster, as the spot where she went
ashore is some distance from here. A
heavy sea is still running. The
Madiana struck the reef at O'clock
this morning.
