The s.B. Mahinapua sails for Lyttelton, Wellington, and A’est Coast ports next Friday, but the sailing of the Taupo has been postponed to -Thursday, June 4. The following is taken from yesterday’s Christchurch “ Press ”:—Mr Robert Elston of Ashburton, was at the sea beach near the Wakanui Creek this morning, and noticed a brig lying off the shore near the mouth of the creek. A boat's crew put off and attempted to land, but owing to the heavy surf the crew could not reach the shore. Mr Elston waded as far as he could into the water, and was able to learn that the vessel had lost her course, and that the erew had been sent off with a view of making the shore to ascertain their geographical position. The crew stated they wished to make Timaru, and on Mr Elston giving the necessary direct iors they gave three ringing cheers and returned to the brig, and the vessel headed for Timaru.”
