It appears that a squall from N. | W. struck her at a critical moment, and caused her to heel over, fill, and go dow.n. The three men came ashor6 in the dingy. Fortunately, where she lies there are only a few feet of water at low tide, and the Emu went to her assistance yesterday, with every prospect of being able to get her up without much loss. The Sea Bird belongs to the Messrs. Pavitt of Akaroa. The Mountain Maid left Sydney on the 22nd ult., and arrived here.on Thursday, having called at Wellington on her way.
