A telegram to McKenzie and Ross conveys the intelligence that there can be little doubt but that all on board lost their lives. Messages from other sources are to the same effect, and hope of their safety is now abandoned. Whpn the vessel left here she was manned by John McLellan (Captain), Gardner, Ferguson, Miller, Tagge, Gammel, Equitely, and Mason. It is not improbable, however, that some of these men have since left the vessel and been replaced by others Heps have been taken to protect the vessel and cargo. Oct. 10. A telegram from Helensville to-day states that there was a strong south-west wind and heavy sea yesterday on the North Spit at Kaipara Heads. The James A. Stewart is likely to break up. Her rudder is gone and her stern post driven two feet above the deck. There is no chance of getting her off. There is no sign of the crew, and their bodies are believed to have been washed away.
