A week ago • she • arrived off the bar at the Clarence river, afterbeing 40 days on the run from Keppel Ba> v ,‘ and owing to unfavourable, conditions was unable to cross in. A good depth “ water was on the bar, the’ next'day, and a favourable slant of wind ruled when the delicate work of crossing began. For; a time everything was favourable, then suddenly she crashed into the training wall; and through some cause as yet unexplained was so badly damaged that .in; all .probability a visit to Sydney will’bfive 1 to be made so that repairs can, be effected. The Daniel was. to have loaded at the Clarence for New Zealand.
