The crew of the schooner Telegraph (says the Taranaki Herald) suffered great privations during the late bad weather, owing to not being able to enter the Waitara River when its entrance was blocked by the wreck of the p.s. Samson. The schooner was from Ivaipara, and was only provisioned for a week ; but, being out at sfa ten days, without a chance of reprovisioning, the crew •were in a pitiable state. For three days they were without water, and when a little rain fell they licked the deck. Attempts wore made to procure fresh water by evaporation from salt water, but without success ; and the agony the men suffered was intense. The only food on board was some pork, and that not over good. After the Samson had been movfd, and the steamers ■which had been shut in the river by the ■wreck proceeded to tow the schooner in, the men's cry for water was almost heartrending. A bucket was hoisted on board, when some of the men actually cried, their nerves being thoroughly unstrung through the long privation from food and water.
