Geelong went outside the Hoads this morning in quest of the barque Hydra, from Newcastle. No vessel being sight, she returned to port. The Hydra is now hourly expected. A correspondent of the Kvenhxj Pouf, who proceeded to Auckland by the Nevada, gives us an insight into the cause of the mysterious delay that occurred upon the passage He writes “On the Sunday night a severe gale was encountered, during which one of the steam-pipes of the vessel burst, and it was with the greatest dilHculry that st< am could be kept up to keep the vessel’s nose to the sea. In this state she literally drifted about for three days, during one of the strongest gales, according to old seafaring men, that has been known for some years. One of her life boats was stove in ; the woodwork covering one of her paddle-wheels smashed, and a great amount of other damage done. When the gale abated, some temporary repairs to the steam-pipe w ore eTeeted, and the Captain and officers ( aen cooly inform d the passengers that if the pipe had broken off entirely there would nave been no hope for us. 'The Captain s ignorance of the coast added greatly to our danger, for he had no idea as to where wo were, and when the gale was over, was all day looking for land. lam to'd by Captain Holmes and others that Captain Blethen might have found shelter if he had known anything of the coast. ” An inquiry into the late wreck of the brig Our Hope, was held in the Custom House, Oamaru, on Monday, before Messrs J. Allan and A. 11. Maude, J. P. ’a. The following witnesses were examined : John Eaton Payne, master ; William Sewell, harbor master; and Captain Gorm, supercargo. The following report was agreed to, and concurred in by Herman Jacobus Bouman, Nautical Assessor “J he brig Our Hope was stranded on the 18th July, on the rooks near the landing place. That the loss or damage appears to have been caused by stress of weather and heavy seas , that the nature of the loss or damage was total loss ; that the vessel was supposed to be insured for an unknown sum. That the Our Hope is brig rigged, hex port of registry Melbourne, registered 233.(id. That no lives were lost through the wreck, and wo the undersigned J.P.’s further state our opinion to bo as follows That the loss of the brig Our Hope was occasioned by stress of weather and heavy seas, and that the captain and officers exerted themselves to the utmost to save the vessel, and when all hopes of saving became lost the vessel was beached in order to save life and property, and in our opinion no blame attaches to cither captain or officers.”
