ALL HANDS LOST. By the arrival of tho schooner Herald, from Lyttelton, on Friday evening, considerable light has been thrown on the wreckage which Captain Thompson, of the Unity, reported at Lyttelton as having passed six miles off Stoneyhurst. A statement made by Captain Mackay, of tlie Herald, before Mr. McKellar, Collector of Customs, on Saturday morning, proves almost con-, cluslvely that tlie wreckage belongs to the schooner Clan Alpine, which capsized when in company with his vessel on a voyage from Lyttelton. Tho two vessels left Lyttelton in company on the 23rd inst.; the Herald for this port, and tho Clan Alpine for Hokitika with a cargo of potatoes. The wind was fresh from the S.S.W., and some time after starting the Herald took the lead. At four o’clock next morning the Herald was running before squally wind under single-reefed canvas. She was then about twelve miles ahead of the Clan Alpine, which vessel was carrying a large press of canvas, having her gaff Jtopsails set. When olt Stoneyhurst, all at once a squalls struck both vessels with hurricane violence. Tho Herald almost buried herself when struck, but being smartly attended, to, was soon at rights, and when everything was made snug, a look about was made for the Clan Alpine, but she was nowhere to be seen. Captain Mackay, fearing tlie worst, at once brought his vessel up to the wind, with the intention of getting back to where tlie Clan Alpine was last seen, but when he did so, she careened over so much—ln fact, buried her lee bulwarks under the water—that he had to run' before the wind again. From tlie foregoing It is clearly evident that the Clan Aipine capsized in the squall, and that ail hands have been drowned. She was a schooner of .40 tons register, owned at Auckland. Her master’s name was James Smart, and besides him there were three other men on board. LYTTELTON, Sunday. Captain Renner, of the Hannah Barratt, reports that at 4 p.m on Friday, when about fifteen miles south of the Kaikonras, and some seven miles off the mouth of Conway River, lie passed a derelict vessel. On bearing down on it ho found it to bo the schooner Clan Alpine, of Auckland. She was floating with her stern some eight or ten feet out of tlie wi.ter, almost perpendicularly. The Clan Alpine, Captain Jas. Smart, left here for Hokitika on Tuesday, with a cargo of potatoes, bacon, ci.cuae, and other produce. She was owned by J. McC’allum and Co., of Auckland. There were three bands on board the vessel besides the captain, all young men. Tlie mate was a native of Port Glasgow, and it is fear--d that all hands are cet.
