THE WRECK OF THE HA WEA.
THE VESSEL DOOMED.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Friday. Captain Bkndall wires from New Plymouth to tho Underwriter*' Association that he boarded the Hawea this morning, and found the bottom caved in under the engine-room, the funnel carried away, and the deck planks started. The upper work is holding together still, but will break up shortly. Any idea of floating the steamer is now hopeless, as a heavy swell is causing the vessel to work through the sand on to a rocky bottom.
