Yesterday m attempt was made: to fetch in the yacht, the cutter Otahuhu havmg been hired for the purpose, but it was found impossible to. get near the capsized 4joat, which still. remains anchored—bottom upwards in the stream. The dingy belonging to Mr Carpenter's yacht was hoisted on to the wharf, and during one of the severe storms yesterday the wind lifted the.dingy andblew it into the water.
