' The Buller. News gives the following ex.planation of the stranding of the steamer Ino a few days ago:— "The s.s Ino went aground upon the North Spit last night at about eight o'clock. The captain, who had but a very slight knowledge of the entrance, attempted to come in, the. tide was almost out, and no lights being given from the signal station he imagined that he could effect the entrance by the beacons . which were just at the time visible, but soon after taking the bar a cloud obscured the moonlight, and he, having nothing to steer by, kept too much north, and touched on the North Spit. There was plenty of water in the channel, which was missed. From the Dunedin Star we learn that the proposed Union Steam Shipping Company has fallen through, because sufficient shares were not taken up by , the public We hear that Mr James Mills; manager of the Harbor Company, goes home by the mail steamer, we believe, .. with . a view to placing its share list in the London market, and obtaining an extension of its capital to meet its growing business.
