ARRIVAL OF THE SUCCESS.

LATEST FROM NAPIEB

STL.ANDING OF THE WILD

DUCK

The schooner Success arrived in harbour this morning from Napier, after a good run, bringing later news from Napier. We take the following from the Hawke's Bay Times of the 11th instant:

By the arrival of the schooner Colonist from Poverty Bay, yesterday, we have intelligence that the ketch Wild Duck, Captain Martin, is ashore at Turanganui, of which Captain Jones, of the Colonist, has kindly furnished us with tin. following particulars : —The Wild Duel left Napier on Monday, April 4, and arrived at Poverty Bay on tlie 6th, at 5 p.m. At 10 p.m., the wind suddenly shifted to the southward, blowing hard, with a tremendous sea rolling into the bay. Got underweigh and put to sea. At 6 a.m. on the 7th, bore up for Young Nick's Head, for shelter; came to an anchor at 7 a.m. At 6 a.m. on the Bth the wind went round to the westward. Got under weigh and proceeded to Turanganui, where there was a heavy sea running. In taking the bar, at 9 a.m., the vessel got on shore on the northern side of the river, and was i_nme> diately boarded by Captain Jones, of the Colonist, who ran out an anchor, which, how* ever, would uot hold, and the ketch waß driven up on to the rocks. At 3 o'clock the same afternoon all her cattle from Napier were safely landed. While regretting this accident to the Wild Duck, we are glad to be in a position to state that she has not sustained any damage other than the loss of her false keel. When the Colonist left Turanganui at 5 p.m on Saturday, all the Wild Duck's ballast had been discharged, and it was'ex* pected that she would be got off next high tide.

The Wild Duck was still ashore when tlie Tawera left.

The schooner Colonist;^Cfaptain Jones, left Poverty Bay at 5 p.m. oj|^turday ; had N.E. winds throughout, and arrived in the roadstead at 2 p.m. yesterday, entered the Iron Pot at 9 p.m. Cargo :50 cases apples and quinces. The Colonist leaves again for Poverty Bay on Thursday next, 13th April. The schooner Kauri took her departure for Wellington on Thursday last, with 78 bales wool. She will return to this port. The s.s. Rangatira arrived from Auckland on the 9th inst., and the s.s. Wellington on the 10th inst.
