AFTER THE WRECK.
STORY OF THE CREW. SALVAGE IMPOSSIBLE, (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. A member of the Port Elliot's crew, interviewed, described the experiences I after the wreck. The nature of the I shore was such that it seemed most hazardous to try to get ashore unless the breaking up of the ship made this compulsory. Transfer to the Tutanekai and the Port Victor, however, was accomplished with little difficulty in spite of the exhaustion of all. He expressed the opinion that the salvage of the ship is quite impossible. While aboard he feared that she would break in half. The sounds of breaking increased this fear. The men were provided with accommodation on arrival. All appeared in excellent spirits.
