Captain Dale reports having left Auckland at 7.30 p.m. on the 11th September. Left Onehunga at 2 p.m. on Friday, the 25th, and cleared the bar at 5 p.m. with light variable wind: 3 a.m. on the 2Gth was off Albatross Point where the engines were disabled, and proceeded under sail, with freshening N.W. winds and thick weather; 10 p.m. same night came to anchor about four miles off Waitara; 0 a.m. on the 27th stood in for the shore under sail, but owing to the heavy sea did not consider it advisable to take the bar under sail alone, stood to the westward and hove to at S p.m.; 0 a.m. on the 28th wind having increased to a N.W. gale wore away, and anchored in Opunake at 10 a.m. Repaired engines and remained at Opunake till 2 p.m. on Tuesday, and a heavy sea setting in the bay, and being short of coal, deemed it advisable to come on to this port. Experienced W.N.W. wind with heavy sea from thence. Whilst crossing the bar a sea broke over the stern which washed the captain, who was at the tiller, on his face to the forward part of the steamer, and before he could regain his position the vessel was nearly broadside on in a most perilous situation, until she was got bow on again and brought safely into the river,— }l r avrjnnui Chronicle, October 1.
