The hotly of a man unknown, has been washed up on the beach eleven miles from Blenheim. The calm weather lately experienced has been very favourable for working the breakwater and the block laying of the row now in hand is being pushed rapidly forward. The preliminaries for the erection of the new timber wharf are also going ahead and this morning Mr Finlayson the diver was busy fixing the iron boring rods in position for pile driving. A primitive kind of church has been established for the benefit of the navvies at Wcka Pass. On Sunday last the Rev J. Eapley, Wesleyan minister, preached an impressive sermon to the “ unemployed” in a cutting in the Pigeon Rock. The concluding hymn was “ Rock of ages.”
