The steamint; time of the Aorangi from Plymouth to Otago Heads is given as 37 days S3 hours, beating the Ar-twa's " fastest on record " by an hour and a-half, The three-masted schooner Waireka went ashore on the South Head, Hokianga, on Tuesday afternoon, March 16, but the weather being moderately good, and the bar smooth, hopes wero entertained that the vessel would be floated off. as the tide rose. A Btrong breeze from the N.E. soon set in, unfortunatoly, and rendered unavailing every possible effort to save the vessel. The Captain and crew got safely ashore, aoon afterwards the schooner began to break. This morning she was a total wreck. The Waireka was a vessel of 100 tone register, built in Auckland in 1884, and owned by Mossrs Webster Bros., New Plymouth.
