AUCKLAND, March 1. A telegram received from Parengaiv. enga, north, of Auckland, states that the Forrest Hall was wrecked on Saturday morning on th« west - coast, about 20 miles south-east of Cape Maria. Yftli Dienien, near Tearo Bluff. ! Th(-> spot where the ship came ashore is a somewhat lonely part of the coast.. Residents of Parengarenga, ot\ fche east coast, do not seem to. hpve been aware of the wreck late in the day. The ship, was tut her way to Chilian, \\wks from Newcastle, loaded with about 3000 tons of coal. She had been 21 days out from the port of departure, and apparently had been blown out of her course considerably, as she should have passed to the north of the Three Kings. The vessel went ashore about 9,30 a.m., and all on board were able to reach the beach in safety, but there is a fear that the heavy seas, which come in on the west coast, will break the ship up before any refloating operations can be attempted. The Forrest Hall is an iron full-rigged ship of 2052 tons register, in command o| Captain P. A Logan, while Messrs C. G. Dunn and Company, of Liverpool:, are the owners-, I AUCKLAND, March 1.
