WRECK OF THE TAONUI.
ALL HANDS LOST. Gisborne, June 26. The Gisborne Sheep Farmers' Company has received advice from Home that there is reason to believe that the Taonui was totally wrecked on the Seven Stones Rocks on the South of Ireland, and that the crew was lost, the weather being thick at the time. The Taonui (of 90 tons) left the Clyde under oommand of Captain Sewell, of Gisborne, under whose personal supervision the Taonui was constructed for the Gisborne Sheepfarmers' Company. A London cablegram of 17th inst. advised that Lloyd's Penzance correspondent reported the finding of a lifebuoy and piece of boat, both marked "Taonui Clayton," and that four life-jackets and a piece of teak had been found at St. Just.
