Greymouth) says that both the bar and river were suitable for the entry of tho Opouri. as was borne out by the fact that tho Waimca, which entered ten minutes before, got in without tho least trouble. The Opouri came over the bar in a splendid position, and was well in tho river when tho steering near failed to act, and tho vessel drifted ashore. No instructions had been issued to utilise tho tug Wcßtland and attempt to refloat the Opouri. Questioned as to tho chanccs of refloating tho vessel, Captain M'l'horson deolinod to express any opinion. If the weather remained fine something might bo done, but otherwise the vessel would probably break up. Messrs. Kinscy and Co., LT3., Christ,church, agents for tho owners, will soil by public auction tho Opouri as sho now lies at Greymouth, the purchasers to accept all liabilities connected with tho removal of the wreck. Tho sale will be held on Wednesday next, September 12, starting at noon, at Groyniouth. WESTPORT HARBOUR RETURNS.
