A WRECK.
[Per Press Association.] - WELLINGTON, Feb. 29. The ketch Reliance, ,65 tons, which left for Nelson yesterday afternoon, found the northerly gale too strong for her, and put back. In beating iip the harbour she missed stays and got ashore at Hind Point, near the lighthouse. The ketch was laden with railway iron. The crew got safely ashore. The Reliance was owned by Cook Bros., Lyttelton, but the insurances cannot be ascertained here. The vessel is lying on an even keel with sails still set, but the hull is completely submerged. There is very little chance of getting her off.
