The Dido, Captain Macfarlaue, left Wellington on November sth for Collingwood and West Wanganui, having on board two engines, one for the Pluenix Company at the former place, and the other for the West Wanganui Coal Company. She reached Collingwood on the 12th, and having safely landed the engine for that place, set sail for West Wanganui on the 17th. The Spit was rounded on the following day, and at four o’clock on Monday morning the vessel was four miles off the bar. Shortly afterwards it commenced to blow hard from the N.W., and as the barometer was falling, and there was every indication of a gale, the master determined to run for Totoranui. The mainsail was double-reefed, and under this the vessel jogged along to Totoranui, where she arrived during the day and came to an anchor. On Tuesday a strong breeze from the S.E. set in, and the Dido got away with a double-reefed mainsail, but shortly afterwards missed stays. Both anchors were let go, but before they could bring the vessel up she touched on a rock, carrying away the rudder, and breaking the sternpost. She then commenced bumping heavily, and was very soon hard and fast on the rocks. Mr Moore, apasseuger, immediately jumped on to the rocks and got to the shore, and was followed by Captain Hubbersty, who got to the shore by means of a line. Mr G. Gibbs and several others then came down to the vessel, and with their assistance the clothes of the crew were safely landed. At low water as much cargo ns possible was got out of the hold, after which all hands went to Mr Gibbs’s place, where they received the greatest kindness. On the following morning the crew returned to the vessel and found her in the same position, the water being up to the combings of the hatchway. On the Lady Barkly coming, Captain Walker and Mr Ross, the engineer, held a survey on the vessel, after which the steamer came on to Nelson, bringing the crew and passengers with her. The Dido was insured in the Union Insurance Company for £4OO, and the engine in the same office for £7OO. The engine, it is said, is spoilt, but most of the other cargo may be saved.
