Wreck of the schooner Golden Isle. The New Zealand Herald says : —" We regret to have to record the total loss of the schooner Golden Isle, at Lyttelton, on Sunday, the 4th April, during the strong S.W. gale. The Golden Isle was a new vessel, on her maiden trip to Lyttelton, and at the time she went down was loaded with grain for Auckland. Mr T. Henderson, jun., who was a passenger by the Lord Ashley, lias kindly furnished us with the following particulars of the vessel: —' The Golden Isle, Capt. M'Donald, of Auckland, was wrecked at Lyttelton wharf on Sunday, the 4th inst., during a strong S.W. gale, which commenced on Saturday night. The vessel remained safely till Sunday night, and at about 1L p.m. parted the warps during a terrific squall, the sea making a clean breach over the vessel and wharf. The chain was hove in, but the anchors, with 70 fathoms of chain out, came home, and the vessel went stern on to the wharf, smashing in her stern. She then slewed broadside on and went down one hour- after first striking. Nothing

could be done to save the vessel, and the crew had great difficulty in escaping with their lives, losingeverythiug they possessed. The schooner had completed loading grain for Auckland late on Saturday, intending to leave on Monday. The vessel was partially insured. She has been abandoned as a total loss, and the crew are coming up in the, Phoebe.' We learn that the Golden Isle, was insured in the Southern Insurance Company for. £1 250 " The Lyttelton Times, of the 6th April, says : " We are sorry to record the wreck of fine schoonet Golden Isle, Captain M'Donald, during the heavy S.W. gale on Sunday night. The vessel is a new one and is part owned by Mr Robertson, Auckland, and by the Captain. She arrived in harbor on Good Friday to load grain for Auckland, and had completed her loading at the railway wharf on Saturday evening, when the gale commenced. She was moored by a 44-inch hawser ; four partß being made fast to the wharf piles. Captain Gibson was on the wharves a short time before the wreck took place. Between half-past ten and eleven on Sunday night the hawser parted. She held on with her anchor for a short time, but this came home, with 75 fathoms chain, and she went broadside on to the breastwork. A few minutes in Sunday night's terrific gale sufficed to sink her. The captain and men had only just time to get on shore havirg lost everything. The vessel lies sunk just off the breastwork. Her cargo is owned by Mr J. Grigg, Christchurch. We understand the vessel is insured. The divers were at work all yesterday afternoon, and they recovered the captain's chronometer, sextant, and gold watch, a quantity of clothing, and the second suit of sails. We learn that the grain with which the schooner was loaded, by swelling, has burst the cabia bulkhead, and will, it is feared, blow up the deck. An attempt will be made to float her to-day." The Lyttelton Times of the 7th April, says :- "The captain lias abandoned the schooner Golden Isle to the underwriters." The Lyttelton Times of the 14th April, says: —"lt is intended to raise the schooner Golden Isle, and discharge her cargo. On Monday, the diver made an examination—he reports that the rudder and stern-post up to the rudder-case are uninjured also the port side of the vessel. He was unable to ascertain the damage done to the starboard side, owing to the position of the vessel, and the number of sacks of grain which have been washed out of the hatchway,"
