WRECK OF THE WENTWORTH.

The steamer Wentworth struck on a rook near Brwen. An opinion has been expressed that the ohannel is not sufficiently lighted. The captain attributes the mischief to a slight haze on the land, which ciused him to misjudge the distance. One of the passpneers writes to a friend in Townsville as follows: "The wreck wa9 the most disgraceful of the kind I have ever known, and calls for investigation of a searching kind. At 140 a.m. we struck within 100 yds of tho lighthouse. The waa clear and the sea cilm, the passengers, with one exception, behaving we ll _ c/rand is the word bit I cmnot eay the samoofthe crew, as with them everything was evidently in the wrong place. Thirty-three minutes passed from the time the verael struck until the boats , were lowered. No sooner were they in the water than one passenger sluog his soulless clay into the nrat boa*., claiming for a cabin passenger the right to be first on ehore. A* one of the boats If ft the side of the ship, It was found that she was filling with water, and the only hard felt-hat in the crowd had to be improvised to bile it out wi hj. When nearly full of water it was discovered that the roat'a plug was out. This wai remedied, but it was found they had come away without a rudder. I saw no life belts, and they were evidently not where the Marine Board ordered them to be."
