She then ran across to the Sounds for shelter, reaching Ship Cove about noon on Sunday. Made a start for Wellington at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, arriving as above. When off the Heads saw a ketch flying her'numbers at the mizen peak, and her ensign about half way up the shrouds. It appears the master of the ketch wanted a pilot, and he had not got a Jack on board, so he took this novel means of signalling, The Tui will leave for Wanganui at 5 o’clock this afternoon. The Union Company's steamer Wakatipu Is due here this afternoon from Sydney. The steamer Murray arrived in harbor at a quarter past nine yesterday morning.

The crew, an Austrian and a Greek, hauled her up on the beacU. and walked round to Island Bay, but they saw no sign of f’te missing boat.
