STRANDING OF THE SAUCY KATE.
The Collector of Customs has received the following letter : — “Hicks’s Bay, July 3, 1882. “ To the Collector of H.M. Customs, Gisborne: Sir, —I have to inform you that the schooner Saucy Kate, belonging to Mr J. Craig of Auckland, is lying on the beach in the centre of the Bay. Oue of my cables parted on Sunday morning at three o’clock, with 90 fathoms of chain out; the other, being let go with 30 fathoms, would not hold. So to avoid the vessel going on the rocks, and becoming a total wreck, I slipped the other anchor, and ran the vessel on the sandy beach, where she now lies totally uninjured, and likely to be got off again when I recover the anchors, and get some sails and other appliances from Auckland. I have also informed the [Collector of Customs, and the owner, in Auckland, of the disaster.—Yours, &c., “ J. Lewis.”
