THE STRANDING OF THE AMATEUR. The rumoured wreck of the barquo Amateur, was not altogether without foundation. It appears that as the barque was entering Kaipara harbour, by t'ae South Channel, on Saturday last, she struck on Catherine's Bank. After striking several tunes, she succeeded in getting off, and eventually reached the harbour where she was beached, m order that her bottom might bd examined, which on investigation v\»3 found tn be slightly damaged, and a few sheets of the copper knocked off. The veaael was m iking water slightly. The cause of w as (is has beeu the case i.f veaae'a previously stranding there), the inability of those on board to discern the signals, the. Pilot station being many miles fioin wadrc it would be most useful to seafi^n^mou The Amateur had 130 tons of machinery on board belonging to the New Z 'aland Pil.r- (Jumpauy This was fortunately uaujiirtd, aud by its mokus it is nitemk I tu open up a new industry. The machinery which u valued at £4000, is in. sured in tie New Zealand Insurance Company. Captain Clayton, Marine Surv< yor, has started for Kaipara, in order to make a survey of ' c i le V o«dl, aud assosa the (lamina done ' t o the CJirgo.
