Tho Sydney Shipping List of January 10 states:—After having been officially declared “doomed” and sold for practically a song, tho three-masted schooner Valmnrio, now the Mapu, which was wrecked in Now Zealand about a year ago, has returned. She arrived at Sydney on Monday night, and is now discharging timber in Johnston's Bpy. After the vessel had run aground at Farewell Spit (N.Z.), her hull and cargo were sold By auction for £135 and £BO respectively. Tho vessel had cost £12,000 to build in 1.919, and the insurance on tho hardwood cargo was £3300. Experts visited the Spit, and stated that sho was doomed. She was so embedded in the sand that it was possible to walk on her deck from the shore. By means of horses and appliances for discharging cargo, 50,000 ft of timber was discharged in a fortnight. A strong current cleared the sand from the starboard side of the ship. At high tide the whole vessel was submerged. A week later tho Valmarie had righted herself, and after tackle had been secured she was gradually lifted out of the hole in which sho had been resting and refloated. HAKURA’S PASSENGERS. Tho R.M.S.
