SAILING BOAT WRECKED.
SMASHED AT CASTOR BAY. CREW SCRAMBLE ASHORE. The Auckland sailing boat Mispah was driven on the rocks at Castor Bay last evening, and wrecked. Her crew of three scrambled ashore. The Mizpah, which is a IG-foot sailer, was caught in the heavy blow when off Castor Bay. The anchor was dropped, but the boat dragged ashore. . Residents at Castor Bay tried to save the boat from being broken up. Two men hoisted the sail, but the rudder was smashed, and a moment later the craft overturned. Cut off by the tide, the party had to climb the cliff. This morn-' ing debris of the boat was strewn over a wide area. \
