The captain at once made for Kohimarama, but before the cutter had proceeded very far, she sank with all sail set. The men on board had barely ' time to get away in their dingy before she went down. Some hours after she suddenly disappeared in deep water. The Victoria was the property of Mr. Antonia Martin, and has just been extensively repaired. We noticed yesterday afternoon that two cutters had been placed on either side of her, and that she had partly been raised. She will probably be afloat again to-day. Messrs. Wiccol and Son are to launch a new cutter from their yards nbout Wednesday next. Q&e cut ter has been built to the order or Captain Yates, and is intended for the Thames trade.
