LOSS OF THE RANGATIRA.

A correspondent of the ‘ Sydney Morning Herald ’ sends that journal the following particulars of the loss of this steamer At five minutes past three o’clock on the morning of Monday, the 31st ult., the Raugatira (on her return from Fiji, and within forty-five miles from Noumea), steaming about four-and-a-balf knots, went on the Nokucka reef, the extreme point of the Passe de la Saveille, ten miles south of the Havannah Pass. Captain Woods took his observations all right at 5 p.m., the previous evening, some twelve miles off the island of Mare, and was supposed, when she struck, to be sixteen miles N.E. of the Havannah Pass. Captain Woods remained on deck almost continuously from twelve until the vessel stiuck, and was on the point of giving orders to turn her round. It appears the nisht was excessively dark, and not oven a ripple on the water was to bo seen. On striking, the engines were instantly reversed, and the steamer would have been got off (having backed 26ft) only for the loss of the rudder, screw, and sternpost, when of course all further attempts were useless. The passengers were at once put into boats and conveyed safely to an island some nine miles away. Captain Woods arrived here in ono of his boats on the evoning of Wednesday, and with praiseworthy promptness the Government ordered the Coetlogon war steamer to proceed at daylight to the wreck. The Coetlogon returned on the forenoon of Friday, as, the wind blowing E.N.E., she could render no service in getting the Rangatira off until a westerly wind sets in, which is anxiously looked for. lam informed the Cher is under orders to proceed to-morrow, an I if the captain reports favorably to the Government, the Coetlogon will be at once despatched to the wreck, and will remain while there is a ny hope.”
