THE DISABLED STEAMER WOOTTON.
SIGNALLED AT LYTTELTON
[Per Press Association.]
GHRISTCHURCH, June 4. The steamer Wootton, which was picked up in, Cook Strait on Wednesday night by the steamer Blenheim, being in a disabled condition, and had to let her go about 18 miles south of Pencarrow Head, at 7 o’clock yesterday morning in a heavy north-west gale, was signalled at Lyttelton this afternoon. Two steamers, the. Holmdale, from Gisborne, and the Wootton were reported, and it was at first thought that tho Holmdale had the Wootton in town. At 3.30 p.m., however, the signal man at the lighthouse, saw that the Wootton was about a mile and a-half from the Heads, and was coming along with her own engines, the Holmdale being about a mile astern of the. Wootton.
