PICTON AGROUND AGAIN.—The Southern Cross Shipping Company’s 150-ton coaster Picton fast aground in the sand on the south side of the mouth of the Waimakariri yesterday afternoon. The ship was pulled off the sand on the north side, a little further downstream, in the morning, but grounded again when the tow cables broke. Another attempt to refloat the vessel may be made later today.
