WRECK OF THE QUEEN BEE. August 8. A Nelson telegram to the Mail from Motueka re the Queen Bee, says the passengers were still on board when the boat left, it being too dark to find the landing place. There appears to be no chance of saving the vessel, her back being broken, and she is bumping heavily. August 9. The Queen Bee is completely submerged, except a portion of her starboard quarter. Two boats have been picked up. Two others, with captain, part of officers and crew and sixteen passengers are missing, Two steamers have gone in search. Noon. There are no tidings of the missing boats. The Lyttelton and Lady Barkley ave still out searching. Very great anxiety is felt here. By direction of Lloyd's Agent, the Queen Bee will be sold by auction to-morrow morning. ♦
