At sundown Long Point bore N. 20 miles. Hove to under close-reefed foresail. At 2 a.m. on the 20th, was close under the land, Long Point bearing E. by N--5 miles. Put vessel on the other tack. Fearing to lose Long Point in the darkness, ran for the anchorage, and dropped anchor ahead of the ketch Mary Ann Hudson, which was lying there. At daylight on the 21st, commenced to drag her anchor. As she was drifting past the ketch, a line was got on hoard, which held until 4 p.m., when both vessels commencing to drag, had to let go. At 4 a.m. on the 22nd parted both cables, and was driven on to the beach where she became a total wreck, no cargo being saved—Captain Mortimer, wishes to publicly thank, Mr J. Mabbett, who was in command of the Mary Ann Hudson, for the assistance he rtndered him. The brig Carl, from Lyttleton to the Bluff, struck on a rock at the mouth of the Bluff harbor on Thursday last. The rock appears to have gone through the bottom of the vessel. The wreck has been abandoned. She was insured in the New Zealand office.
