WELLINGTON. November 1

A report which appeared a few days ago in a local paper, stating that H.M.S. Sappho had been aground for some hours at the entrance o: Wellington harbour, is positively, contradicted by her commander, Captain Digby. The mistake is supposed to have arisen from the fact of the Sappho having been at anchor at the Heads at the time referred to for about a couple of hours. Mir.
