A Strenuous Business,
The salvage of the Tjileboet. has been a difficult and strenuous business. Continuous recurrence of bad weather repeatedly wreck- ed the temporary repairs complets | ed by the salvors, and after each storm the condition of the vessel became worse and the difficulty of salvage consequently increased. The storm of Thursday, 21st inst. came near to making a total wreck of the vessel and, at the height of the storm all but the Captain, and a few of the salvage party who re- fused to leave him, had to take to the racks. After the storm abated It was found that the No. 1 and Nu, 2 holds as well as the cross bunker were wraked and beyond | salvage, and unfortunately the engine ream was älso holed and
