The following is a list of the AuokUnd passengers who arrived from London at Wellington on Monday last, by the s.s. Arawa: — Second class : F. Hooton, T. Waitton. Third class : F. Bourne, K. Banks, L. A. Crook, W. Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. Elliott, Mr. and Mrs. Johnstons, E. Irvine. J. and A. Jumos, P. Nicoll, T. Newton, Mr. and Mrs. Reed and four children, A. Timely, W. Witworth, W. Marshall. The passengers, cargo, and mails are to be sent on to this port by one of the Union Company's steamers. Great uneasiness is beginning to be felt for the safety of the schooner Aurora, owned by Mr. G. F. Mason, of the Patent Slip Wharf, whioh left Newcastle for Auckland on the 9th of February with a full cargo of coal. Nothing has been seen or heard of the Aurora since she cleared Nobby's ; and, as vessels which loft Newcastle about that date are known to havo encountered very severe weather—one, the Wild Wave, having to put back again—the worst fears are entertained, seeing that the Aurora has no w been out 62 da'ys. The Aurora was a brigantine of 13S tons register, and was built in Italy in 1576. She was classed Al for thirteen years, and at the time she left Newcastle was thoroughly staunch, and well found in every particular, as all Mr. Mason's vessels are. She was built of wood, and her principal dimensions were: length 85 feet, beam 2i feet 3 inches, and depth 12 feet 2 inches. Captain K. H. Brown, who was in command, was well known in the intercolonial trade, and had been in Mr. Mason's employ for several years paat. Hβ Was formerly in command of the Lookout. Ho bore an excellent character, both as a sailor and otherwise. The crow numbered seven, all told. The Aurora was insured in the Mercantile Marine office. By the Manapouri, which arrived from Sydney yesterday, Captain Savory and the crew of the wrecked schooner Energy were passengers. From Captain Savory we learn the following additional particulars respect" ing the disaster. The schooner was bound from Melbourne to the Clarence ; there were nine seamen, all told, and no passengers: he arrived off the Clarence bar on the evening of the 27th ; bad weather set in and he had to go to sea ; the westher moderated, and he was making his way back to the Clarence; the bearings he took gave him a position of five miles off Evan's Head; there wae a four-knot breeze on, with a little swell from the southward ; he found they were getting nearer shore than he liked, and tried to turn the ship, but she would not come round, and drifted on to tho land; she missed stays twice ; he had been master of her over four years ; she was properly trimmsd and ballasted, and had always turned well before ; the Clarence light was in eight all the time ; there was a heavy current running, and it was this that drifted the ship on to the shore. The anchor wag let go in from eight to ten niinutes before she struck ; she dragged th 9 anchor ; everything possible was done to try and save the vessel ; the accident was attributed to the veaaol missing stays. An inquiry was held, and after I hearing evidence the Board announced that they found that the Energy was lost through missing of stays twice and consequent dragging her anchor, but there was no evidence upon which to found a charge of default against the master. The wreck was sold and realised £22, Mr. J. Ellis being the purchaser. PORT OF ONEHUNGA. j DEPARTURES. I Gairloch, e.g., Me Arthur, for Waitara and J New Plymouth.—A. Barnes, agent.
