Wreck of the brig Shamrock. — The Shamrock, laden with sawn timber, bound from Lyttelton to Otago, was wrecked in Palliser Bay, on the 9th instant. The brig left Lyttelton on the 7th, with a light wind from the S.W., but had not been long at sea before a heavy gale sprung up, which by midnight rose to a perfect hurricane. On the following morning, the captain wore his ship to N.N.W., and made Kaikora Peninsula, where he hoped to be able to get shelter, but the swell set in so heavily that he was compelled to stand out again to sea. Owing to the violence of the gale, the brig was unable to carry sail, as her canvas was all split as fast as it was set, and there was no alternative but to run before the gale under bare poles. On Wednesday morning, the captain found his vessel embayed in Palliser Bay, and the only chance left him of saving the lives of his passengers and crew was in running the brig on shore. This he succeeded in doing on a sandy leach, and was enabled by great exertion to save the lives of all on board, among whom were three ladies. The shipwrecked passengers and crew were hospitably received on shore by Mr and Mrs Russell, of Wangaimona, Wairarapa. The brig broke up very shortly after she struck. The gale is described as being one of unusual severity. — Nelson Examiner, January 26.
