S.B. Moa Ashore.
The Union coastal steamer Moa reached the Bay, at Gisborne, at 6 on Sunday evening after a rough passage from Auckland. The tide being low, she was unable then to enter the river, and came to an anchorage in the roadstead. During the night the gale blew so furiously that Captain Braidwood weighed anchor and made in for the
river
At the mouth of the viver the flood current caught the steamer and threw her over on to the sand bank, where she lies hard and fast. The vessel is uninjured. But for the shelter of the breakwater, however, she would have been considerably damaged. On Tutsday morning her ..deck cargo was discharged, and at high tide in the afternoon an attempt was made to float her off.— Press Association.
