During the sudden and severe southerly gale which came on about midnight on Sunday, the ketch Owake Belle went ashore on Riverton beach about two miles from port. The crew got safely ashore. The cargo has been washed overboard and otherwise damaged. The ketch is insured for £500 in the New Zealand Office. In the church edifice at Komatsu, Japan, are two hundred stones which were once used as missiles against the Christian missionaries when they first began work in that city.
