CITY OF PAPEETE ASHORE
Our Papeete correspondent writes that when the schooner City of Papeete, a trading schooner of 375 tons, was leaving Papeete for San Francisco on 7th inst., she ran ashore in the pass, and remained there for twenty hours. The Union Co.'s steamer Croix dv Sud made an inetfec.tual attempt to tow her off. Next day the schooner's false keel carried avyay, and she drifted off the reef, after having jettisoned all her cocoanuts and a quantity of vanilla.. When jthe mail left she was discharging her cargo, arid. was to be slipped for survey and repairs.
