LOSS OF THE SCHOONER ILIOMAMA. We regret to bare to announce the total wreck of this fine schooner, which took place at the Bast Cape on the oth instant. The following particulars hare been furnished by her commander Captain Sturley sailed from Auckland on the Ist June, and arrived at Hawke’s Bay on the 16tb; and, after discharging, risited various places along the East Coast, picking up cargo until the Ist of July, at which date be anchored in Hick’s Bay, East Cape. On tbs 2nd the wind hauling in from the Eastward, the Iliomama stood out to sea; the wind increasing until it became a gale from the N.E., when Captain Sturley stood off and on under the foresail until tbe 4tfa, when it fell calm. On the sth tbe wind sprung up frumtla N.W., when Captain Sturley made sail, and stood round the East Cape, which he doubled about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At 6 p.m., it fell dead calm, with s heavy sea from the Eastward; the schooner being about 7or 8 miles off the land. Tbe Captain remained on deck until midnight, when he left tbe r/ssel ta charge of the mate, with orders to keep a good ioc out. The mate roused him out at 4 a.m., and, immediately after, breakers were heard. The night «J very dark and rainy. Captain Sturley at once ordered both anchors to be cleared and let go; but tbeschoonif drove some distance before she brought up, ruDmcg the cables out to the clinch. On sounding, bn fathoms water were found. About 6 o’clock wj* morning of the 6‘th, a sea swept the deck, wutonj everything away except the boat, which was to launched, and ail bands got into her, the captain oa»| the last to quit the schooner, which, having been stru by another sea, drove into smoother water between breaks of the sea. The boat continued laying on on by her, till about 1 p.m., when tbe wind B P rBD ». from the S.E. There being then no prospect of a* f the vessel, without a sbitt of every indication of a fresh gale, the boat was a shorewards to endeavour to find a Innd'ng P Captain Sturley and his men were compelled L through between the East Cape island and tbe ' but were unable to find any spot at which it sible to land, except about twelve miles fOm iVT S o ftbe Cape, when the boat was run ashore, and tbe w “ 0 f e0 | )SBt - crew landed in safety through a very heavy BUr ’,* wo dusk. The unfortunate vessel hungon between breaks for about 20 hours after the crew left hen length a sea struck her; both cables parted, w went ashore, and in five minutes became a total having gone to pieces almost instantaneous y* Ihomama had on board 1,500 bushels of w “f bushels of maize, and a quantity of hams and We understand she was insured. The American Whaler, “Jasper.”—The of New Bedford, Capt. Rotcb, fitted out h fr ® ®. months’ cruise, in January last, has now returned in consequenceof having sprung a leak on Ist loß •*, on the Line, in Jong. 176° east. Whentbevesee* Auckland, she was deemed to be in every wsj and staunch, and continued so U P , Ist inst., when the leak first showed by making water at the rate , .T to strokes per day. From that date it has ? ncrea *fT aes . 60,000 strokes in 24 hours, at which rate it cod The vessel has, we understand, been surveyed Gs«» 5 will be immediately discharged and hove down. praise is due to Capt. Rotcb,. his and crew, (all of whom are now quite exba their praiseworthy perseverance at tbe pumps days, to which alone can be attributed the,(« vessel and cargo.
