The Wanganui Chronicle reports that the steamer iuripaka had a very narrow escape from stranding while attempting to cross the Wanganui bar on Saturday morning. By some means she got into the breakers near the South Spit, where she remained for over three hours. A very heavy sea was running at the time, and the vessel was in great peril. Eventually she was able to steam out to sea. Although nothing official has been announced, it seems likely (says the Wellington correspondent of the Christchurch Press) that Lieut-Colonel Davies is to be appointed [in command of the Auckland district, an office which has been temporarily filled by Lieut-Colonel White since the departure of Lieut-Colonel Banks for South Africa. It is also rumoured that Lieut-Colonel Eobin is to take charge |of the Dunedin district.
