Mr

Some s\xsy' l J&y*phekp''MV{j come ashore: SoofcU'iHead ; here,Valso, portions, of wreckage,amongstwliicn is aVudder box and white, about Wo fiiefc three long.; rThis box resembles those used by vessels in the coasting trade. A 5 small ladder with four steps has also been washed ashore. There are various other things- such as timber, a few onions, and a few candles. No bodies of the unfortunate crew have up to the present time been discovered, although a good many peon 1 * are oh the look ; biil. ; ? 3 The; ;W i eather r: y..e ! s r terd l ay was' extremely rough, a regular gale from S.W".: It is not much better to-day. One of £hVfta^iveS : say:£hat some of the sheep have a sirailireal" mark to tha'ii used a native chief who lives neu* Opuuake-j if so I the sheep would most probably be I shipped at Pitea, berhg the nearest port to Opunake. It is to be hoped it will turn out a case where the cargo had to be sacrificed to save the vessel, and the Grew. The past two months must have been most dangerous ta the seafaring community on-our, coasts. There is nothing at present to identify the unfortunate vessel, except tne box above mentioned, which is painted b'ae and white stripes.—Correspondent.
