WRECK OF THE SCHOONER CLYDE. The Clyde, Captain Bishop, loft Oamaru on Friday morning-, for Auckland, with a cargo of Oamaru stone and breadstufft?. Besides Captain Bishop and her crew, consisting of five men, the Clyde had one passenger on hoard, Mr John Bennett, chief clerk in Mr Henry Aitken’s office, who, owing to ill-health, had determined to take a trip north. At the time the vessel left the wind was in a southerly direction; becoming more easterly as the day advanced, blowing, as our readers are aware, a perfect gale. How flip vessel got to her present position is a question which, along with that regarding the fate of her crew, cannot well be answered until we are put in possession of fuller particulars. It appears to be certain that the vessel is whole; and has been driven high and dry on to the beach at that place ■ between the mouth of the Rakaia and the entrance to Lake Ellesmere—which, it is said, resembles the beach at the old landing-place at Oamaru. Anything further than this we must be content to wait for, hoping, meanwhile, (or the best. The Clyde is a Sydney vessel, built of red pine, and is known as a smart sea-going boat. She la owned by-Mr Francis Guy, of Maitland’s Bay, N.B.W.—‘ North Otago Times.* [Fhoh Oue Oars Correspondent. There was great excitement over the wreck of th c Clyde, and fears were freely expressed that all hand ß had perished. These were allayed to-day by the receipt of a telegram from Captain Bishop announcing the safe landing of ail hands. The particulars received are very meagre. The information leads to the supposition that something went wrong on board, and the vessel getting into the breakers, the boats were taken to. The landing appears to have been effected under the shelter of Banks Peninsula. [Sent 2.45; received 3.53.] Shipping Telegrams.
