THE MACGREGOR ASHORE AT WAITARA.
(per press association) NEW PLYMOUTH, This day. The steamer Macgregor, which has been detained in the Waitara river eight days, owing to a sand bank which had formed and prevented her getting out, attempted to leave this morning and grounded on tne south spit, where she now lies. An attempt was made to lighten her, but without effect, and she now lies on the spot the s.s. Rowena grounded on two years ago, and where she was two mouths before again floating. There is a Inmpy sea on, and her position is critical. The New Plymouth harbour tug is lending her every assistance. The steamer Rowenu not being able to enter Waitara came on to New Plymouth to discharge her cargo this morning.
