WRECK OF THE KAIRAKI.
The Kaiapoi Shipping Company’* steamer, Kairaki, bound from Wellington to Greymouth, was wrecked off Point Elizabeth on Saturday night. The coast from Point Elizabeth to north of Barrytown is strewn with wreckage, consisting of chaff, butter and deck fittings. A couple of life buoys marked “s.s. Kairaki, Lyttelton” also came ashore. All hands were lost.
The Kairaki is well known locally having traded with produce from Lyttelton to Foxton oh many occasions. She carried a complement of 14—viz., captain, mate, second mate, three engineers, cook, steward and six firemen and deck hands. The master was Captain Scott, formerly of the Wootton.
