TAURANGA.
This day. The Wreck of the s.s. Taupo.
It is feared the Taupo will become a total wreck. Only one compartment is now dry. All the cargo is now discharged, and the cutter Sovereign of the Seas is taking in her coal. The tide'is nowing in and out of her. The launch Buona Ventura is chartered by the agent to run from the wreck to the town- It is suggested that the Eowena should take on the Hawea's Auckland passengers, and that vessel return South with the mails and the Taupo passengers. Plenty of Taupo's coal here for the Hawea.
