THE GALE AT LYTTELTON.
BEACHING OP THE BEAUTIFUL STAR,
During the heavy gale blowing at Lyttelton last night, the Union Company’s s.s. Beautiful Star, while alongside Lyttelton wharf, received some damage and sprung a leak, which necessitated her being beached. Owing to the railway strike, she had been unable to discharge her Dunedin cargo, which of course is greatly damaged. For the same cause the Taupo was unable to discharge her cargo in the usual way, and, in order to enable her to proceed northward, her cargo had been transferred to the Beautiful Star.
At 2.55 p.m. this day the Beautiful Star was being pumped out, it having been discovered that a plate a little below the water line had been forced in some six inches by bumping against the jetty. The damage to the ship itself is limited to this slight injury.
