This vessel arrived here from Havelock on the 20th instant, with 54,000 feet timher^consignod to Nath. Edwards and Co.,— about half of whienhad bVen landed., Tho following is the captain's statement :-V' Monday, April 33, commences with, light winds from ByN.E. and Rue weather, but heavy swell running in from NSJ. At l^a.m. wind increasing ; parted best bower cable ; fyied to get sail on tho vessel and workout; vessel paying off and nofi answering helm let go the Becond anchor, vesseK still driving, hoisted ensign "Unioudown" for assistance. Pilot came off in whale boat, got the mainsail on hqr and made all exertions to work the vessel offshore, and run her on the beach at To Henui. The vessel, however, sti.l bumping, cut. the second chain, when she came on the rev and became a total wreck." '__ .-/ There appears to have been soma gross mismanagement with regard to the wreck of thii vessel. Signals were made, jt appears, from shore fo# the vessel to stand off before the pilot went on board, thymaster, however, having neither signals or book, could n/t understand them ; and to show the way some owners' srod then 1 vessels to sea, wo may mention that she had not even* a chronometer on board. ,' I The vessel was the property If Mr. Kerr, of Nelson, and Whether insured or not is uncertain. ■ The hull, spars, anchors and chains, life buoy\ boat and oars, were sold by public auction on the beacmon Tuesday, and realised the sum of £18 4s. The timber was insured on an open policy with Bank of Now Zealand. \, " *•*•_.» Tho Phoebe left the Bluff Apm 12t\i^t3^fi.m., arrived off Port Chalmers 3 a.m. 13th, cunncwuior at daylight.
