> . ETVERCAKGILL, March 24. A" small steamer was. reported, by telepohne to-nighfc to be on. the Triange Bocks a few hundred yards bom. the Blnff wharf. 'JEbeApex of the triangle which projects into the channel Js marked by a small lightship, but this is reported" to have been swamped in "yesterday's gale. The Triangle Bocks are fiat -but rough enough to damage a vessel's bottom, as they are nearly dry? at low water. The-vessel was found to be the Invercargfll from Dnnedin. A strong gale is blowing. She has not been reported here and may have rim into the Blnff for shelter. It is not known here 'whether the light on the rocks was lit-. If not, an incoming ship might mistake a shore light for it.

i Later. The steamer on Triangle Rocks-is the lorercargDl ■which was coming in to wait for the tide on the new river bar. She » not leaking and-it is hoped that she will be got off when the tide makes at about 1 a-m. There was no light- at the rocks as a substitute for the lightship and there is & sharp bend in the channel caused by the rocks.
