At Lyttelton a large amount of damage was done by the gale, especially amongst watermen’s boats. Several casualties occurred amongst the shipping, through collisions. The following are the pMtioul lars regarding the loss of five men from the Syren. The hoat-a new whaleboat, 28ft, in length, and well found—left the wharf at 7.30 p.m., with six hands—four men pulling-and all sober. The crew pulled off, when half-way between the shore and their vessel a southerly buster came out torrents of rain falling, and the night being pitch dark. For two hours the men struggled against the gale, and flnding they could not fetch their barque, they pulled «^ d ®, th S> bor< i u , e . Mystery, which was anchored oft Rhodes Bay. A hue was thrown from the vessel, which the men unfortunately missed and the boat drifted. By the apprentice knowing Collandßav.it was suggested that the boat should be headed in that direction, and that it should be beached there. A heat from a house in the bay was at times seen by the men. The boat’s head was put to the shore, and it was pulled towards the (bay. Cavers, who was pulling bow oar, getting exhausted, shifted Into the b ? w tb ® boat > kpk out for breakers and rocks ahead. The men pulled towards the shore, but In the darkness came on the sunken rocks, which run out for some distance near Polhillo Bay, when the boat grounded on the rocks. Cavers was pitched out head-foremoat, hut he held on to the boat’s painter, and three times he tried to pull up tbe bot foiled. The last time the bow of the boat struck him in the chest, causing him to let go the rope. The wash of the sea carried him up on the rocks, and, on recovering himself, he called out for his mates, but eould not get any reply from them. He then made his way to Lyttelton and reported the matter to the authorities On Saturday morning Captain Bees went round the Sumner Road to see if he could loom anything of the unfortunate men or the boat. He saw the debris of a boat he recognised as his own, and recovered some of the oars. The names of the men are Evan Moms (second mate), N. P. Larsen, W. Toomey. L. Wilson, and Arthur Wirich. J During the storm on Saturday the schooners Elibank Castle and Wild Wave were wrecked on the Ninety-mile Beach, but no lives were lost. From pieces of the wreck and aboat picked up on the same beach, it is also supposed that the Success, of Anckland, was wrecked, and it is feared all her crew have been drowned. _At Timaru the gale lasted till Sunday morning, ihe following vessels ran before the gale, but have not yet returned Brigantines Endeavour, Mary King, and Hate Brain; the schooners Elibank Castle, Mary Ellen, Pearl, and Success: the ketches Janet, Eliza M’Phoe, and Lucy James Gwmg to an obstruction to the shingle drift by the wrecked brig Princess Alice, the sea washed away a considerable portion of the foreshore, damaging the Government Landing Service, and narrowly nKSL£VS llwa3r - „ Abou * 1-800 injury is done, ihe wrecked barque Cyr«ne held together wonderfnlly, though often lifted bodily by tho rollers. Ihe scene on the beach on Saturday was magnil fleont, such high seas being unprecedented here. The Board of Works bought the wreck of the Princess Alice for 1.20 in the hope of breaking her up to prevent damage, but their efforts were unavailing. The sea broke over with firemendoua fury hut, supported by the shingle, the frame held together. The shore is strewn with debris many miles northwards. The schooner Elibank Castle became a total wreck on Ninety-mile Beach. She was unloading when the gale came on, and had to quit tho anchorage to get to sea, but failed to do so. No lives were lost. The vessel was owned by Turnbull nud Co., of Wellington, and insured. *
