[BY TELEGRAPH. —press association.] New Plymouth, Wednesday. The 32-ton fishing cutter 'fauranga was wrecked off Tapuae River, about six miles south of the breakwater, on Monday night.

The wind changed on Monday night, and a heavy sea arose, the boat being nearly swamped* Eventually the anchor dragged, and she was driven ashore. The men ant ashore on Tuesday morning, saving their effects, but the cutter broke up. The boat cost £110, and was not insured.
