In taking the bar at about a quarter to six the Mahinapua grounded and stood out again, but getting into a heavy swell stranded on the beach north of the river. Anchors were immediately got out, and the vessel is now lying broadside on to sea, with her.bows a stone's throw from the eastern breakwater. When the vessel attempted the bar the signal stood at " Wait for tide," it being low tide. It is thought that great difficulty will be experienced in getting the vessel off.
