The cutter Mahia, W. E. Baxter, master, bound for Waimarama with a general cargo, left the Iron Pot on Friday, 4th inst. ; lay in the roadstead for two days ; at 7a.m. on Sunday, 6th inst., -got under way with a B. W. wind j experienced light and variable Winds during the day, and anchored at Cape Kidnappers at 10 p.m.! light and variable winds throughout the night. On Monday morning the master and crew went on shore to look after the wreck of the schooner Annie, certain portions of whioh were found on the beach; also the top of a beer case marked " F.H.D., Porangahan;" the keel of the Annie's boat was also found, the woodwork having been burnt, as it is supposed, by Maoris. As nothing could be done in the way of landing cargo on the coast during the state of the weather at that time, Captain Baxter resolved to return to Napier. Accordingly, the vessel was got under way at 5 p.m., and arrived in the roadstead at 8 p.m.— a heavy N.E. swell rolling into the bay at the time. Whilst riding at anchor in the roadstead, lost her hawsepipe, and in consequence came inside the Iron Pot about midnight. The Mahia now awaits a favourable change in the weather before resuming lier voyage.— Times. The s.s. Lord Ashley is due here from Auckland on Monday nest, and will leave for Southern Ports on Tuesday, 15th inst. The brigantine Sea Gull, bound for Auckland, took her departure yesterday afternoon. The schooner Colleen Bawn, bound for Picton in ballast, left this port yesterday afternoon. The s.s. Wellington, Captain Holmes, left Wellington at 2.15 p.m. on Thursday last with strong N.W. breeze, which continued throughout the passage. Arrived in the roadstead at 4 p.m. yesterday. She brings about 80 tons cargo for this port; also three cabin and seven steerage passengers. She steams for Auckland this day at noon. The Sturt, p.s. for this port, to removo Mnjor Fraser and mounted constabulary, left Wellington half an hour before the Wellington. She had uot arrived at a late hour last evening. S.S. TARANAKI.-THE DIVER DROWNED. The s.s. Lady Bird, Captain Renner, sailed for Queen Charlotte's Sound at 3 o'clook yesterday morning, for the purpose of ascertaining the position of the s.s. Taranaki, as she now lies at the entrance of Bowden Bay. A number of persons proceeded in her, including three divers, with apparatus completo for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of raising the ship. She arrived at Bowden's Bay at 9 a.m., and anchored close to the Taranaki. Operations were then commenced by getting the boats and forming a stage for the divers On sounding it was found that she was lying in 13 fathoms forward and 17 bft. The diver then wont down for the purpose of making a rope ladder fast to the Taranaki. and having done so, returned after a short time. His dress beinj? adjusted by adding extra weights, he again descended with the intention of inspecting the vessel's position and bottom Fora i of an hour after he had been down signals had been exchanged satisfactorily, after which they ceased and nothing more was observed until his red cap was seen floating on the surface, It was then known that the helmet must have been removed by some cause. Efforts were then made to bring him to the surface, but failed, although persevered in for up. wards of an hour, the diver having evidently got en» tangled in some portion of the wreck. After trying with the boats and line by pulling in various directions, the man was liberated and brought to the surface, but life was quite extinct. It was then discovered that the helmet had unscrewed itself from the breastplate of the dress, which was the cause of the unfortunate accident. The man's name was Burton and well known as a practical diver. We understand that he is a single man. The body was put on board the Lady Bird, and she returned arriving here about 9 p.m.— lndependent, September 10.
