The Napier will return again to Blenheim at 8 o’clock this evenieg. , * t The a.s. Rangatira got away for Napier and Poverty Bar at 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The brigantine Darcy Pratt arrived here from Clarence River yesterday morning with a cargo of liardwood for the Queen’s wharf .extension. She has made the passage down in 13 days, and experienced during that time - most severe weather, one Je»t Clarence River on the Ist insfc., and earned heavy N.W gales across. On Thursday last, when about sixty miles to the westward of Cape Farewell, owing to the fierce g-le and tremendous sea running, she ha ; i to heave to, and whoa in that position a fearful aea broke clean over her. smashing the boat to atoms, carrying the galley bodily over the side, and washing away about ten feet of the port bulwarks. Cape Farewell was made on Sunday last, and she got off the Heads on Monday afternoon,, arriving as above stated. Captain McDougr.il reports sighting a large ship off Howe’s Island with her three topmasts gone. I The s s Wanaka arrived here from the South at 12.30 p.m. yesterday. She left Port Chalmers at 5 p.m on the lith, and arrived at Lyttelton at 10 a.m. on Sunday; loft at 5.45 p.m. on the 13fch, and arrived as above. Experienced strong south-west winds from to Akaroa; thence to Lyttelton a north-west gale, heavy aea and hard squads; strong westerly winds from Lyttelton to Kalkoura Peninsula, and thence to arrival a heavy north-west and high sea. The Wanaka will sail at noon to-day for Auckland via the East C °V?e are indebted to the officer In charge of the Mario© Department for the following information “Picton. 11th May, 1878.—Jackson, of Tory Channel, reports having found a few days ago at Olffenb ch. Queen Charlotte Sound, part of gangway of a vessel, about 6 or 8 feet long, blue gum stanchions, apparently kauri pine planking, brass hinges, painted inside, white panels, bine mouldings. I have not heard of a y wreck. Trobably it may have been washed overboard in bad weather from some sailing vessel An Inquiry was made on Fr’diy last c meaning the ketch Margaret, reported missing. Probably she m *y be In Port Underwood.—(Signed), J. Allen, Collector of Customs." Captain Pankow of the schooner Onward, which arrived at Auckland on Ma 6th, has reported to the Customs a very strange incident in connection with the voyare, which demands publicity, as it may lead to inquiries being instituted to solve a jnatter which so farappe&rs enveloped in mystery. When leaving Russell, the Onward encountered strong N.N.E. winds, nnd about three or four ml'es from port a squall sprang Up, which was of short duration. Subsequently, saw a fore-and-aft achconcr running as it were for the Nine Pins, and steering as if she came from the north. The strange schooner had her foresail down, and the master hauled on to the wind when the squall p wed over, and stood for Capo Krett. About 1 p.m., however, a second squall struck the Onward, and sent the. vessel on her beamends, sweeping the deck, shifting cargo, and *tove in the boat. When it passed away, and everythlngbadbeeis mads as snng as possible. Captain Pankow got his g’ass and looked round for the stranger, but could noinee anything, although half-an-hour before tile' schooner was owly two and tt-half miles on the starboard bow of the Onward. The position of the strange craft, when last seen, was such that it was impossible for her to weather Capo Brett or run back to the bay without those on board the Onward seeing her. The only way of escaping the sight of the Onward was to m vke Deep Water Cove, but as the wind was from the N W., and dead In, it was hardly I kely the strange schooner would make for it.
