A STEAMER IN PERIL.
[by telegraph.] New Plymouth, To-day The steamer McGregor, which has been detained in the Waitara river eight days, owing to a sand-bank which had formed and prevented her getting out, attempted to leave this morning, and grounded on the South Spit, where she now lies. An attempt was made to lighten her, but without effect, and she now lies on the spot where the s.s. Kowena grounded years ago, and where she was two months before she was again floated. There is a lumpy sea on, aud her position is critical. The New Plymouth Harbor tug is lending her every assistance. The steamer Rowena, not being able to enter Waitara, came on to New Plymouth to discharge her. cargo this morning.
