GISBORNE.
This day.
The Lochnagar is now high up on the beach. Messrs Shaw, Saville and Co. have been cabled to ascertain if she is insured in order that she may be abandoned to the underwriters. The vessel herself weighs over 10,000 tons, and in an entire absence of any appliances whatever for getting her off the beach, the prevailing opinion is that there is but little chance of getting her afloat again. The sea has gone down considerably, and the weather is fine. The rainfall during two days was the greatest ever known in the district.
