Utting. owner of the vessel. The Awanui left Auckland'on December 18th carrying about 40 tons of general merchandise for Niue Island, a protectorate of New Zealand lying about 1400 miles north of the Dominion. The vessel was the only regular means of communication with the island, and was subsidised by tho Government. The information received by Mr Utting states that the wreck, occurred on Saturday,. January 11th, last. AH hands were saved after a narrow escape from frowning.. The vessel was at AJofi on January 7th, and was discharging till the 10th, moderate oast from south-east «inds prevailing at the time. Next morning she was expected to depart for Abatele and complete loading for Auckland. During he night a stronjr wind from the west commenced to blow, which by the morning had- increased to a hurricane. Heavy seas were breaking over the reef, and the vessel's position was precarious.' About 7.30 a.m. the last cable parted,' and 1 the crew, recognising that it was their only hope of safety,"abandoned the vessel. Soon after a huge wave lifted ber bodily over the reef. The crew had considerable difficulty in getting ashore, there being a danger of their sharing the fate of the veseel and being swept over the reef. ■'..-. Finally the Awanui . wa* washed nagainst "the cliff, and rabidly began to break up. In her unfortunate plight she was an object of great interest to the islanders,, who came.from, all parts to see tho wrebH.'"" -"•' ?., , . ..Fortunately some. ..of: .tho -merchandise lor'the island had been/landed, nnd only a portion of the shipment of copra had been, loaded. The cargo for Tuapa had previously been landed at Alofl owing to the unfavourable weather conditions, but the Abatele consignment was lost. The chief portion of the copra was to have been lifted at while a small amount loaded at Alofl was salvaged. The crew are at present at Apia, and will not arrive in Auckland until the return of the Talune, which leaves Auckland on her -regular island run tomorrow. "■.•'■ .•■:■••■••■ MAKURA FOB VANCOUVER.
