WRECK OF THE CUTTER SOUTH CAROLINA.
[PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.] AUCKLAND, August 31. Ihe cutter South Carolina left Maori Bay, Great "Barrier Island, yesterday morning, for Auckland. About 3 p.m., when off the Pigeon Rooks, a tremendous squall from the south-west struck the cutter with great force, and she filled and sank. The crew (five in number) took to a dingy, and the steamer lona, fortunately just coming past, rescued them from their perilous position. The cutter was owned by Captain Boars, who was on board, and as the vessel was uninsured, he has lost his all.
