N. has successfully passed Ithe examination amt obtained a chief officer’s certificate, to which capacity he is now promoted, he being the first in the I ort of Ofcwowho has passed under the new regulations. During the examination he showed a remarkable aptness in the knowledge of his profe Tim well-known and fast-sailing cutter Tradewind, R. Savory, master and owner was sunk uu Thursday night during one of the fiercest squalls that has passed over Auckland for some time. The Traclewmd left the wharf shortly before six o’clock on the evening in question, having on board the following cargo for Whangaroa, whither she was bound Iwo tons flour, consigned to Mr Lane ; four cases crockery and two tons of merchandise, for Mr Gibbs. She proceeded down the harbor under a fair wind, and rounded the North Head at about seven o'clock. She then commenced to beat out of Rangitoto Channel, and passed the Countess of Kintore about half-past seven. At eight o’clock the master observed that a squall was approaching, and directed one of the men steering to hand him the tdler and to stand by the peak halyards. The squall came up with great suddenness and fierceness, and took the cutter aback, while a second gust coming immediately after, sent her completely over. Captain avory describes it as more like a whirlwind. The cutter lay on her beam-ends, with the mainsail lying flat on th 6 water. Being unable do anything 1 to save the vessel, the master, with the assistance of his two men, managed to get the dingy clear, and so save themselves. Before leaving the cutter they fastened a line to the boom, and attached it to one of the hatches, so as to buoy the wreck. The line is estimated at nine fathoms long, and it is expected that the position of the vessel can bo discovered at low watei by these means. The men were unable to save anything, or to provide themselves with oars. They however seized upon some pieces of scantling, and after lying by until the cutter went down, they paddled towards the Leslie, schooner, which was lying at anchor nearly two miles lower down the channel. They were taken on board and kindly treated, and brought up to Auckland yesterday morning. The spot where the accident happened was about two miles outside the 7?«n ifruJ Tlic Ttunicw Iml, one *of the fastest sailing cutters out of Auckland, was valued by her owner at LSOO, and was insured for only L3OO in the New Zealand Insurance Company. —New Zealand Herald.
