Three Oyster Cutters Wrecked.
TWO MEN DROWNED. (PEE PEE S3 ASSOCIATION.) Invebcargill, April 27. Word has reached the Bluff of the wreck of the oyster cutters Alarm, Annie and Deveron during a storm on Tuesday morning in Caroline Bay, Buapuke Island. The Alarm broke frpm her anchor at 8 a.m., and was smashed to pieces on the rocks, but the crew managed to scramble ashore. The Annie went adrift at eleven o'clock, and collided with the Deveron. Her master, M. Doyle, jumped on board the latter, but the other two of the crew stuck to the Annie which went to pieces ou the rocks and the two men were drowned almost immediately. Their names are unknown, but one had been a fireman on the Tekoa, and the other a butcher on the Hawke's Bay, both of which recently called at the Bluff. Those on board the Deveron managed to beach her in a safe spot. There was no insur- j ance on the cutters.
