The Ethel, a small cutter belonging to Marahau, had a narrow escape from shipwreck yesterday afternoon. She left here in the morning for Marahau, but, meeting the N.W gale, was compelled to turn tail, and after a rough time, during which the dingy was washed overboard, she reached tho entrance of the harbour. As the tide was ebbing strongly it was impossible for the Ethel to get in, and her anchor was dropped among the rocks opposite the Basin to prevent her from going ashore. Her movements had been closely watched from the shore, and in a very short time Mr Low, the hartour-inaster, the pilot crew, and others were on the scene, and a rope having been made fast to the cutter she was hauled to a, safe place. Had not assistance been quickly at hand there is no doubt but that the Ethel would have been smashed up by the rocks as the tide receded.
