An Auckland telegram of Wednesday says: —The Sophia, three-masted schooner, which left Oamaru on the 22nd with 200 tons of Btone, has put into port in distress, having on the 28th struck on the Bull Rock off Portland Light at 1I : 3O p.m. The night waß very fine, but it is thought a strong tide got hold of her. She bumped three times, and went over the rock. She made a large quantity of water, but managed to put into this port. The damage cannot be accurately ascertained until she is unloaded and goes into dock.
