pacity Of surveyor, is today entombed
in the interior of the American bark
S. NJ Castle, examining seams, posi-
BILE leaks and the like, and upon his
decision depends the fate of the wind
TANNER. The Castle came in here in
distress March % from Makatea by
way of Tanning On the latter island
she struck a reef and opened up in
such fashion that the pumps had to
be kept going throughout the remain
railroad wharf a diver examined the
bottom and found little wrong except
with the shoe on the keel. Today the
s. NJ Castle was put on the marine
railway and to all outward appear
ances she has as shapely and sound
bottom as any windjammer in port.
The shoe is badly cut up from its con-
tact with the coral but the planking
looks sound. The waterfront experts
who visited the ship this morning ex.
pressed the belief, however, that she
was badly strained and had straight
ened out on the ways. If this is the
case she will require extensive re-
pairs.
1t was said before the survey began
that If the surveyor found her in such
condition that she would require much
overhauling she would either be brok-
en- up or sold.

: HARPALIoN EXPECTED
NEXT WEEK
> The British steamer Harpalion
which left Gibraltar with nearly 1900
immigrants on board bound for this
port, has not been heard from since
she left the Mediterranean, and while
shipping men have little to base their
judgments upon they are confident
= that she will be in here on the six
teenth or the eighteenth of this
month. T. H. Davies G. Co., agents
for the British owners Of the steam
err, received a letter from England
recently in which they were advised
- that she would probably be here
n April &c. The previous Immigrant
4 steamers have established the prece
r dent of calling at Punta Arenas
q whence news of them was cabled t
=. London and indirectly to the immi
, grafton authorities of this port Tit
f Earpalion evidently called nowhere OF
D this voyage and as it is not know
d whether she is equipped with wireless
s or not she will doubtless appear OF
Diamond Head before anything /
IS heard from her. The customs an
Is immigration men are making specia
preparations to handle the army o
newcomers, as are also the marin
