Greymouth, This day. The stoamer Wallabi went ashore last night about half a mile north •of the entrance. She went out about 11 o'clock, there being a thick fog on the river at the time,'but the signal lights could .be seen above it. The sea was irregular, with alternate : heavy rollors and tolerably BniPoth seas. After getting outside the Wallabi m'efc'a succession of heavy seas, which were hidden by the fog at first. One she met successfully, but that being followed by others-she could make no headway, and was finally landed high and dry by a heavy sea without striking previously. The momoiu: she struck, 1 some sailors jumped ashore and made her fast. She now lies outof reach of all but vory high seas. She is insured for £IOOO in a JS,Z, office, and it is thought also for. £3OO in the Victoria.- She could be easily floated through tho lagoon except for the northern harbor works. To launch her along the crown of the beach will be a more expensive job. The Wallabi is loaded with coal.
