Hakopa with the necessary instructions, informed Mr. Leach, and sent Heale and Stewart to render all assistance in their power. I have since heard that she struck at 12 o'clock last night, at which hour the wind was off the land, and is now a complete wreck. No lives lost. Goods being saved by Rawiri, Hakopa, Tamati Waka, Katatori, Parata, and indeed all the natives, men and women, in first-rate-style. Liddel, his wife and two children, and Charlton were the passengers. The cargo appears to have consisted of wheat and sundries. The boat left the Town at about 8 p.m., but the boatmen do not appear, from creditable witnesses, to be of any service, except to look on. The surf is too heavy for them.
