Mills has placed us in possession of full particulars of the wreck of the cutter Dido at Totar mil by handing us the copy of a letter winch he received from NeDon per Ringarooma on Saturday ; “ Nelson. 22nd November, 1877.—1 regret to announce the total wreck of the cutter Dido on the rocks at the N.E. head of Totara Bay, off Mr, Gibbs’ station, near Separation Point. She had discharged the cargo of plant safely at Collingwood for the Phoenix Company, and had sailed for West Wanganui with tho other plant on board all right on Saturday last. On Sunday, the 13th Instant, the Dido was off West Wanganui, but the tide not serving, and a strong westerly wii.d with dirty weather prevailing, the captain bore up for shelter to Totaranui, where he lay secure until Monday, when the wind chopped round to the S.E., blowing in strong gusts. In getting under way to stand again for West Wanganui, and when about to clear the point, the vessel nrssed stays and drifted fast towards tho rocks. Both anchors were let go, but she dragged, bumped violently on the rocks, and began to fill with water. Her bottom was broken in, her stern post and rudder carried away, etc. She now lies at low water high and dry a complete wreck. The engine and greater part of other gear will bo under water when the tide comes in. Some of the plant, such as ropes, blocks, etc., have been hauled upon the rocks above high water, but the bulk of them at noon to-day (Thursday) are under water, and only recoverable at low water. Captain Walker and Mr. Ross, of the p.s. Lady Barkly, have inspected the wreck and agree that the best thing to be done is to get out all that can be saved before the vessel breaks up, and land it safe at Totaranui, and take charge for the benefit of the insurance company or whom it may concern. Most of the cargo will be saved, with the exception of the engine, which is spoiled. The captain and crew of the cutter have left the wreck, and came on to Nelson by the same boat."
