The steamer Wellington, which arrived here yesterday morning, brought the crew and captain and his wife of the Oreti from Plcton. An inquiry .into this cause of the wreck was held at Pioton, and the evidence’taken has been forwarded to Mr. Seed, Secretary of Cnstoms.-bnt at present we are unable to publish it, as the affair stands we mightsaysusjudice.it being not decided whether any further action should be taken or not. - On questioning the captain and crew, who of course are rather reticent in giving information, we learn that the Oreti bad anchored in Queen Charlotte Sound, and on Saturday afternoon she got under way: had light airs ail the afternoon, when shortly after 10 o’clock the ebb tide set in, and it being nearly a perfect calm the vessel drifted helpessly down to the rocks broadside on, .Every attempt was made to wear her round, but in vain. ■ Her heel was' the first to touch White Hocks. ' Immediately after striking a hedge was run out, and all hands, hove. on it with the windlass; (but the tide had receded too fast, and after trying all their might to get her,off, it was,found impossible to move her, and that she bad settled' down on the rocks. A fresh N.W. wind then sprang up, and it was decided that the captain, his wiie, and three seamen should go in the boat to Mr. Turner’s ” house in the Sound, the cook and the mate to remain on the rock. After they had left, two Maori whaleboats, fully.manned,>islted.the wreck, and offered to take the two men left behind away.. They how r ever refused to leave the vessel until the captain returned, as she was" not abandoned. .One of the boats then left for Mr. Turner’s house, and brought back Captain Nelson, and the vessel was then abandoned, as nothing farther could be,done to save her; At 4 o’clock on Sunday .morning the shipwrecked people left Mr. Turner’s house, where they had been ... very hospitably entertained, for Pioton; but falling in with the schooner Colonist, they were taken on board and brought there. Messrs. McMeckan, Blackwood, and Co.’s s.s. Eingarooma. Captain John McLean, arrived here from Melbourne, via the West Coast, yesterday evening at 9.30.
