Tile coast is rock bound, and invisible reefs and banks stretch out to sea for two and three miles in many places. It will lie within the recollection of many residents of Wellington (says the New Zealand Times) how the ill-fated fcarqiuc Zulalka (1144 tons) went ashore there in April, 1897. She was in command of Captain Bremner, and, like the Ben Avon, was on a voyage from Dunedin to Wellington when she came tt grief on the rocks a few miles west of the sevne of the present wreck. On that occasion the loss of the vesse, was attended with more disastrous results than those obtaining in the case of the Ben Avon. The crew (21 al told) were obliged to take shelter in the rigging, and 12 were drowned by being washed overboard, whila the survivors suffered dire, distress before they were rescued and brought to Wellington.
