(FKOM OUR SPECIAL KEPOKTEK.)
TaoraKga, 5.30 a.m. to-day
The Wellington made a good run, reaching the entrance to Tauranga harbour by one o'sloek. After rounding Stoney Point, Mount Maunganui, the steamer took ground nearly opposite the pilot boathouse, and stuck hard and fast. Captain John MeKenzio was on the budge at the time, and Mr Norbury, the chief officer, was forward watching the buoys. The engines, which had been going dead slow, were immediately reversed, but the tide falling, the vessel would not move. After the lapse of half-an-hour the pilot came off, but it was found that she could not get afloat till the next tide, and passengers went up to Tauranga in the pilot boat. The Wellington lies on a good sandy beach and there is no feat of damage. It is believed she will kedgo off at high water.
