THE WRECK OF THE GRASMERE.
m (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON. December 27. Captain Morrison, of the Grasmere, estimates his lose at £1500. It appears that the vessel was hugging the land in order to pick up the tug and make the port as quickly as possible, when she missed stays and went on a patch of rocks. When the boats were picked up one of the crew was nearly dead from exposure, but Captain Gray and those on board the Terranora managed to revive him. When the Mararoa passed the spob yesterday the wreck had settled down considerably.
