SCOW ASHORE.
WRECKED DURING HEAVY GALE. ALL OF CREW SAFE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. While beating up harbor the auxiliary scow Magic, from the North Cape to Wellington with a cargo of stone and some wool, went ashore on Inconstant Point, inside Wellington Heads, yesterday. A northerly gale was blowing at the time and a very heavy sea was running inside. The crew—Mclntosh (master), Morris (engineer). Barker, Carmichael, Brett (crew), and ißalcomb (cook) — landed at Pencarrow in a boat, all getting ashore safely. The vessel is owned by the Hansford Mills Construction Co., Wellington. Portions of the deck and ' some wool were washed ashore. There is a quantity of water in the vessel.
When the’crew got ashore below Pencarrow they were looked after by the lighthouse men, and they are now little the worse for their experience. The vessel could not make headway against the heavy gale and was dashed on to the rocks and was badly pounded. To-day the gale has subsided and the wind has not changed as anticipated, but had. it done so the little vessel would have been smashed to kindling wood. The scow is in a perilous condition, but if the weather remains favorable there is a probability of it being hauled off.
