swept clear, even the rigging being torn and shattered. Tho drag ceased to fulfil its functions, and as the sea rose over her1 bows and deluged her decks the water soon reached the furnaces and extinguished tho fires, the hatches having been torn from their fastenings by the billows. The fires being out soon put a stop to the engine and the City of Vera Cruz lay at the mercy of the waves and tho storm. Not even the donkey pump could be worked to relieve the vessel of tho water sho was rapidly taking in her hold. In this extremity Captaia Vansica ordered the men to throw overboard the deck load, a task that bad been begun about midnight, but the sea was too heavy to permit the crew carrying out tho Captain's orders, for while thus en gage 1 several wero carried oil' their feet by the increasing seas aud many of them were washed overboard.

THE CA?TAI« WASHKD OVKRIKMKD.

Captain Vansice and his olliqcia acted courageously in the performance of thoir1 several duties, but were one by one washed overboard from their station?, an the steamer labored iv the trough of the sea. As near as can be asceitainoil the captain perished fully an hour before the vessel finally succumbed ; and, as nearly all hands were ' lost, the few remaining alive on board saw that there was no hope, so they took to the life-preservers, the lifeboats haviug already disappeared. In fact every boat and liferaft was stove iv when tlio top hamper went by the board. The sailors and passengers then seized the fragments of spars, stateroom doors, or any other movable articles that would float, and awaited the cud which all knew to be at hand. The surviving sailors .state that the vessel was about thirty miles olf .shore at this lime, and the hurricane being oiio of terrible fury, by the time the wrecked men and women hud equipped themselves with their impiomptii buoys the linal catastrophe ocenrred, it beiug then, as already stated, about hnlf-pnst 5 o'clock a.m. With a fearful and tremendous lurch the steamer suddenly sank, the swirl carry ing down many of the liviug. Of the seventy souls on board before the storm be gan only thirteen havo reached land alive, HARDSHIPS OP THE SURVIVORS. ' ■ The thirteen saved wero all men, three of them passengers, eight deck hands, one engineer and one oiler. They were all in the water, buffed by the tempestuous sort from twenty-four to twenty-six hours, and there is no doubt that but fur this ordeal runny more would have beeu savod, for there can be but litllo doubt that several perished after the foundering of the steamer througii exhaustion. Such is the story of the wreck, which, I hough brief, clearly tolls the talc. The survivors are Masou, Talbot, James Kelly, (the lirst a uativo of England, the ot'icr born in New York) A. K. Owen, a Jriond of general A. T. A. Torbert. Bodies of victims came on shore thirty miles south of this place. Among them Was that of General Tarbort, and his body was placed in a cask and buiied on Wednesday iv the grounds, of J. H. Botcfuhr, near Day ton, a settlement opposite Mosquito inlet. The bodies of two steerage passengers have also been found, at least that is their classifi cation by survivors. The bodies of three women were recovered alongshore and four men, probably sailors. These, like others, have been duly buried. One of the bodies is that of a gray-haired man,and near the body of a woman was found that of ayouug girl,

A WILD SCRAMBLE FOB LIFE.

The "Tribune " has from suaman T.ilbot the followiug story of the wreck of the City of Ver.i Cruz : "At daylight on Sun day tlie boats were lowered and manned. They no sooner got their cargo than they were overturned and smashed to atoms against tho steamer's sides, all hands beinjj swapt away or their lives dashed out. The boat was afterwards dashed to pieces in the same manner, so that none of the passengers would venture to leave the .steamer. The captain and officers lost their lives in one of their boats. Every where was a perfect bedlam, people scream ing and shrieking for help on all sides. Tho steamer was iroken in two, and after a few lurches sho foundered and went down, carryiog with her all who Were on board. „ - . ..■<:-.

From that time until 4 o'clock in the afternoon I could sec, occasionally, ono-or .two men, as they rose upon the crest of the wave. It was useless to try to hold on to any thing, as the sea would tear it from your grasp and drive you two or three fathoms under the surface, and then, on coming •up again, yould" would have to grasp something else. It was compelled to dive ot dodge away from pieces of stuff which would have killed me if I had been hit by them. After 4 o'clock I saw no one.

Trip to Kamo Mine.

WIIAPUKA FISHING AT THE HEN

AND CHICKENS,

A vkrv jolly party, numbering about thirty gentlemen, gathered aboard the steamer Waitaki on Friday evening,on the invitation of Mr Jo3cpU Bennett, for the combined pur pose of visiting tho Kamo coal mines and fishing for whnpukaa off the lien and Chicken Islands. General regret and sympathy was expressed upon its becoming known among tho excursionists that owing to the illness of Mrs Bennett, the host and chaperone for the occasion wonld be detained iv town. This was A severe disappointment at the ' outset, but was fortunately the only one — for, the weather and all things favouriug, and the arrangements being as nearly per fect as anything human can be, the event, with the one misfortune specified, fully realised the most sauguinc anticipations. A pleasant ruu over smooth moonlit seas sharpened the appetites for supper, and a full muster below to a genuine salt sea spread, bore unimpeachable testimony to l,he smiles of boreas on the expedition. Jokes and yarns, interspersed by the dulcet umes of a musical instrument of rare timbre, which a goutlcmau amateur of fame had thought fully stoweit away iv his breast-pocket, beguiled the night ;.and the lirat streaks of early dawn discovered a strong array of commercial dignitaries assembled on the deck of the steamer anchored suujjly within the land-locked harbour of Whangarei, watching for sunrise over tho jagged peaks of Bream Head and Mauaia. However, in this instance, the proverb which promises reward to tho early bird, was not verified— the sky was dull and overcast. Nevertheless Whaugarei Heads and its. pinnacles of romantic rock scarcely looked less pictur esque in tho sombre light than when bathed iv the golden beams of a rising sun. Tho Waitnki's run up the estuary in broad day. light afforded a tplendid view of the shrroi of this line harbour. At Lime stone Island tbo little steamer Kotoiti whs :iu waitinjr, and soron o'clock found the 'visitors hailing contractor Laiiigan, Inspector ilanney, G. E. Alderton, of the "Advocate," aud other Whangarei Worthies assembled on the wharf to do thd honours of the township. It had been hoped that the occasion might havo marked the ollicial opening of the railway from Kamo to the town, but the Government ar rangements for management being incom plete, the double event was not realised. However, Mr Lanigan had provided an engine ami two carriages, and tho travellers pnssed from steamer to train, and were soon spinning over the 4J miles that separated thorn from breaktast. The railway tor minatcs at the mouth of the coal mine, but notwithstanding the ardour for geolo gical researches which animated tbo wholo party, thoy subdued their enthusiasm so far as to decline several pressing invitations to explore tho bowels of the earth, until they had examined the internal economy »f tho spacions building that tops tbo •hill above the mine. Observing this to be the most handsome edifice iin the city of Kamo, they, of course, naturally took it for the church, and the stylish two-storey dwelling in tho middle distance for tho parson's residonce. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that . :

The docont Church that topp'd the neighbour-

idghil', as Goldsmith would have it, was in this village an hotel of truly civic maguitude. The disappointment which so unexpected a discovery caused was compensated for by the sight of two long tables spread with snow-white linen, and an ill's of breakfast luxuries coming from the inner recesses of the building. The execution that followed upon the viands of mine host was terrific. A short rcspitq fallowing enabled the vif-itorij to take stock of ,the town of Kamo, where eighteen, mouths ago scarcely a house stood. The mansion before-mentioned proved to be; the' schoolmaster's, not the parson's residence, which is perfectly palatial,* nnd -* -protracted search dis closed the school in n little dilapidated building, which, it appears, is rented. Tl>e Board of Education have somehow got the cart before the horse here. However, Kamo has all the attributes of a thriving little township, and owes its very existence as well as its prosperity to the enterprise expended on the adjacent mine. Voices from within recalled waudering footsteps back''to the scene of former delights, only to find that champagne bottles and glasses had taken the place of tea-pots. The Hon. T. Henderson, M.L.C., was. aunimonad to the chair, and after the toasts loyal and patriotic had been duly honoured, " Success to Kamo Mine, coupled with the names of Mr Joseph Bennett and Mr Thomas Morrin," whose enterprise had been tue'means of opening up the mineral treasures of the district, was proposed by Mr Dargaville, and drunk with three times (force. Mr Black, the manager of the colliery, responded for Mr Bennett, the present proprietor, and Mr Homsby for Mr f>ennetts original partner in the undertak ing. . The health of Mr Lanigan, the con tractor for the railway, having also been giv,co, and acknowledged by that gentle man, (in irregular procession, headed by Mr Black, manager, and Mr Kotr, the under ground boss, wended its way to the mouth o£. tuo uiaiu tunuol, where candles were ligbUA and an examination of the mine commenced. , Thero , avuh . a general ex pression of surprise at the extent of the work .that has been done, and the value of t&e property. l*he main drive is 960 feet long and forms'a junction with, a cross drivr.e of 70Q.feet. ■ As'.thoexplorers,traversed tfiejdark aisles, ,with ; the solid walls of coal on pitlicr; side and ,ovorheftd t Mr Fraser (Eraser and Tinne) and,other practical men expressed their gratification at the quality of; the coal, anil the admirable way in which the,,mine.has been opened up. The mine is perfectly $ry and well ventilated. The seam is from 8 feet to,til feet thick, and Lis'penetraW by 2000 feet of work ing drives, laid with tramways and converg ing on the . railway, . Three thousand tons .of cpal a week 'could be run out with the greatest ease, if the demand warranted, and shipping facilities were equal 'to. the supply, j In this respect the mine is along way-iaheadl of iis surroundings, for although the present line of railway will suffice to convey tho coal from the nit's mouth to the b"ii <» s at Whangarei wharf, and small craft; might load there, liargiug is an unsatisfactory process where such water facilities exist as are found at Whangarei. The continuation ot the liae let under Mr Fallon's contract, will not remedy the drawback, for it ends on a mangrove flat, and will be absolutely useless unless con tinued to deep water. Borings are now being made with a view to ascertaining tbe nature of. tbe grourid for an extension, 3nd let us hope that the result will be the letting of ,'a further section to bring the railway to 16 feet of water. The extent of the mineral resources of this district—not merely at Kamo, for coal crops out everywhere, and there is abundance of limestone, lire-clay, and, in all probability, also iron ore—fully warrant this undertaking, apart from the fine agricultural country' which wiU/for' a long time to come find the'outlet forits pro duce at the port of Whangarei

The ibspeution of the coal mine over, the soda-water springs adjacent were examined, ( and then the party divided, one small sec tion setting out for the caves and falls, and the others returning to Wbangarei by train to i re-embark for the fishing excursion. About an hour was spent in the town, whjch is a well-built, picturesque little place, and in wandering round the tasteful gardens of Mr Caffler, tho patriarch of Whangarei. -whose trim grounds aTe a perfect model of nattinoss and good, taste. The tide lieing out, the slimy and tortuous paths of thai rivet were by several degrees Hess attractive rthan: in the earlier part, of the day. The steamer could Dot come :to the wharf, but about noon four boats were'inanned and a spirited race ensued down ;Long: Beach. The little Kotoiti wa» sooa boarded, and wont putting away down to its larger sister at Limestone Island ; and half-past two o'clock saw Mr George McLeod, the pioneer settler of the Head?, safely embarked as pilot and general guide.'to the favourite fishing grounds. The nearest island of the Hen and Chick ens Group lies eleven miles from Bream Head,and four o'clock bad struck before the iishiug {;round, which was well within the group, wfli reached. Lines were got out at once, anil the firstleadthrown'overboard must have carried the bait straight into the month f>{ a famished whapuka, for a splendid fellow, weighing balf-a-hundred-weight at least, was quickly landed on the deck. The sport ran fast and furious; in less than an hour ten or twelve large whapuka and a noinber of gigantic schnapper were strewed about the deck. It was generally voted a pity, therefore, to leave the bonanza, but the fast-falling shades of night gave no option, arid the good ship was once more turned homewards. At the Heads the Kotoiti hauled alongside, and an exchange of passengers was' safely effected, those who had remained in "Whangarei re-embarking, and those who came from Whangarei to fish;renaming. Everyone was in high, spirits over the success of the expedition, which a change in. the weather and drizzling rain failed to damp. _The sight of a row of patient and enterprising 1 jehus .on arrival at the Queen-street wharf

at half-past 'two in tho morning wns decidedly welcome, and a sharp drive homeward closed to the lu^cky ones what had been a thoroughly enjoyable outing.

White :—lf the weather keeps fine, I ex pect to start crushing at once. Broke down the stone in a leading etope on No. 3 lode iind big reef, Only got 41bs. of stone sped" raeus in last breaking down. Am still driving on the big reef, which is opened out to about three feet again. Am getting close under'where good gold was" gjjt in No. 2 level, and find the big ieer turning sharp round towards the Luck's All leader, so there is every prospect of getting a good haul of gold. Have several men engaged "blocking out in Ko. 1 level near tho surface. Quartz brown, but gold in it; It is difficult to say what the result of the crushing will be. The rain last night done some slight damage in. stopping us from Hotting stone from Ho. 2 level for a day or two. HoPEFyiTiCr^L CQ.^Mr House's report of the l&h inflt. shows that the workjis in progress. Cut through a small stringer, and saw a few colours of gold. The lode is still pinched- up— In breaking down saw no cold. If the country does not change for the better, thinks it would be wiser to let it stand until the new level tunnel is driven on to payable gold, then let the same by contract, which would,-be. doing the work cheaper than by wages. Am still extending the cross-cu6 on mundicj' vein, but hare not intersected any leader or stringer crossing the same for the past. The remainder of the report refers to the probable results of future operations. New Whan.

The Maori Fencing.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PAKIBAKA, October 15 Somk few weeks ago the Paiihaka natives, on appearing at the fencing place, insisted ou being taken to prison, and truculently asserted that they would eat of the pakeha's food. This was because they had an idea that by consuming the substance of the Government they would ultimately coerce tbc Europeans into agreeing to what was desired, and attain the end they bad in view to the glorification of the Maori and the debasemout of the pakeha Gentiles who wtre dwelling in the land. The Govern ment purse has stood the strain, and Tc Whiti, seeing the doors of tho Europeans prison still open for the reception of his de luded followers, declared last month that ;hc had, separated tlio.no which were taken from those which were left; that no more prisoners should be arrested, and that he was simply awaiting " the coming of the Son of Man." He is likely to wait ; but, meanwhile, to prove the truth of bis assertions, bis followers, whilst Still persisf unt; in fencing, do it in such a manner and at such a time as insures their immunity from arrest, and gives the Europeans no other alternative than to view their antics from afar and allow them to depart. There, appears to be no other alternative unless another constabulary station is established at tho point chosen lor fencing day after day by tbo natives. The fence at which tto 59 prisoners lately sontenced to two years' imprisonment wore taken is close to tho constabulary camp at l'ungarchu. Immediately after the trial and soutcuco of the last prisoners, the natives were informed of the fute which had befallen their companions, and tho next morning on thoir, appearing to fenco as usual they were mot by a party of constabulary somo DO yards before they arrived at tho fencing ground, and told that they would no longer bo allowed to obstruct the highway with impunity, and that if they insisted upon fencing they would certainly be im prisoned and probably suffer tho same penally as their former companions now working in penal servitude. Aftor insist ing for a short time they ictircd before the constabulary, but instead of returning to Panhuka they went some 70 chains further along tho road to tho Parapara, and thero orccted tho fenco which has been maintained by them evor since, no matter how oftou it is pul led down. They do not, however, fence whilst the Constabulary are present, but choose a lime when no Europeans are near, tmd thus.jfty.oid arrest. Xhc,canap_ atl'un garopu meanwhile is not left unmindful of their presence in the vicinity, for with a singular 'consistency they each morning adpear in sight of tho camp, watching somo sixty strong, with .fencing boughs on their shoulders, and those they simply carry till in fullvjow of tho oarnp, yrhep > they; Jam round and retire to fence at the Parapara, if the fenco in that direction' has been pulled down, or to loaf around all day if it has not; but in no case is any opportunity given to tho Constabulary to arrest them when in the act offeucipg. The country is completely s'tuddqd, with isolated hills or mounds rising from a level plain, and each of these holds a sentry, whilst the patches of scrub are scoured by partiqsof iiajives to make, sure that no ambush, in laid for the arrest of'the fencers. Tho ground each morning is vigilantly inspected by native sroutH seeking, with,the eyes of Indian trial hunters,' arid the sajpicity of the traditiqn|'. Path-finder of Fittniwore Cooper, for 'tlfts tracks of a pakeha War-party ; aud thus tho prophet's assertion's are made eo°d, not by the.interposition of i the fetich ho baat>ts of, but on the principle that Providence hejps those who help themselves

They hud had plans prepared for tho rc-instatement, and two tenders wore sent in—one from Mr Wanliss, to rei instate tbe buildings and machinery, at £1,310 ; iiml the other from Mr Heron, at £2,000. Mr Wanliss was a good and res ponsible man, and his tender would have been Accepted, bat thon came a further de mand by Mr Harris, jun., and the threat of litigation even if they did re-instate. They then ■ decided to take the litigation in-' stead uf allowing it to hangover their heads. Mr Wanliss was the_ first witness for tho defence. Ho said his tender was £6'4S for the buildings, £93 for the engine, and £5(39 for the machinery. He was to be allowed to work in all the old material possible.— The 'cross-examination of Wanliss was tttketj up this morning. Then, the following other witnesses were-, examioqd ; Mr. Vfckery, as tq original cost of n>fih via.,, £i,sfiPl Henry Self, engineer, :ir to assessment of its value after the 'ire, and Edvv'ord Bartley, the architect, ;i'»;<o the plaus lind specifications fortlie reinattitement.

THE COMPLETE DOMESTIC BIBLE.

Mlf :KICHAED ALUNQUAM, authorised agent for " The Complete Domestic Bible," hus called at our oflice and states that the letfcr in oti'r Saturday's issue" r'p&fss.&<s Yankee Bible canvassers might be taken as referring to him. Ho therefore brought tho sample copy on which' his 'orders' w.eitf taken, with a complete copy of theJßitde now bein(T delivered, to show that bo far from orders having beett (jbtaitfed by any £iirepre'sea|4tlons|thg Bibles at'^congidkr. ably belter than were promised, and worth more than the amount charged for them. We have'examincd Mr AllifleibaKi's sample copy and the Domestic1' Bible as delivered, and consider that all the promises contained in the former are fulfilled by the book itself. The Bible is a very handsome one, atrongjy bound and extra gilt; and 'illustrated with Ame icun transcripts of fibnS's' fanions plates. It contains; in addition to the Old and New Testaments and metrical version of the Psalms, the Apocrypha, Descriptions of the Holy Land, Biographies of: Eminent Bible Characters, History of tha Anoient Books of the Bible, Pronouncing a»4/I}e4n mg Dictionary of the Bible, and a number of historical, biographical, and chrjonblogical essays explanatory of the Bible ,narj;atiyes. Those who' .have subscribed for tbis ,W°.rk have certainly no reason-to charge them selves with' having made a bad bargain. Mr Allinßham informs; us that over ten thousand copies have T>eensold.in Victoria and.New South Wales, and hundreds in New Zealand, and he has a letter acknow ledging the receipt of copien, and expres sing satisfaction with them, signed by a large number of people, including the Bey Mr Kirk, of Wellington. ~ .
