HOBSON STREET WHARF.- SIGNS OF DISTRESS.

Hardly has the Harbour Board extricated itsslf from one difficulty before it is landed in another. A oase in point has just occurred, seemingly tho result of pre liminary blundering. At a special meeting this afternoon, the following communica tion from the Engineer to tho Chairman was submitted :— " Engineer's oi'lice, January 7th, 1885. Sir,—l have to report that tho beach at the site of Hobson street Wharf, owing to its softness, has broken aw.iy under the weight of tho earthwork filling, and I find this morning that the timber-work shows signs of dis tress, from the pressure of the mud bank bcin" pushed forward by the earthwork. I therefore deem it my duty to bring the matter under the notice of tho Board, and wuld respectfully suggest that tho mem bers visit tho work at low water.—l have, #c, D. E. McDojjald, Engineer."

MEETING OF ALEX REYNELL'S CREDITORS.

A meeting ot the creditors of Alexander Reynell (contractor for the erection of St. Paul's temporary church) was held at noon today, ten creditors being present, Mr W. J. Napier appearod to watch the pro ceedings on behalf of the debtor. Tho Official Assignee, who presided, read out the debtor's sworn statement, from which it appeared (1) that he attributed 1113 failure to the bankruptcy of James llaliday, with whom he had been associated in a contract at Waihelce, and (2) that he anticipated making a profit of £25 upon his present contract. The Assignee reported that he had received £25 from Mr H. Skinnerin consideration of his withdrawal of all claims under the contract for the erection of St. Paul'n tem porary church, and of Messrs Edward Key nell and James Jones completing tho contract to his satisfaction. An opinion was ex pressed that the debtor's case was one of mis fortune, and that it was the result of ten dering too low.—Mr Harper found fault with the debtor for procuring from him finials to the value of £2-1 5s for the church immediately before the Christmas holidays, when fyomuat have been aware'of his insol vent position. He considered that these goods were obtained from him under false pretences, and ho was the more indignant it it as they involved no work on the debtor's part. In conclusion, ho charged the debtor with having £100 to his credit in the Union IJank « couple of days before Christina?, and he asked what became of that amount. Tiie debtor then entered into an explanation, which showed tbatf during the la*t month he had made payments (exclusive of wage?) to a total of £5616?, of which £33 was paid to Smyth Bros. (Waitakerei Sawmill). The debtor, having no f.s-set3, had no- composition to offer. Mr Harper threatened to prosecute him criminally. Mr Melville thought his case was even harder. Ho had put in tho foundation for'the Church and had not been paid. Tho debtor replied that Melville had received £70 out of the £100 ho had con tracted for. After some further discussion the meetiDg terminated.

Wreck of the Annabell.-Statement by the Mate.

(To the Editor),

Sir,—When the news was telephoned to l'outo Point from Kaipara Heads that tho Annabell was ashore on the Tory Shoal, and that they had better send the steam launch to render assistance, thero was no one at the " station " dared take tho steam launch'in the abaenso of Pilot Smith and his assistant, although it was a case whereby ten men might have lost their lives, if the boat in which we reached the shurehad shared the same fate as the first one launched. On Saturday morning, (luring tho first part of tho flood, tie afterpart of the wreck washed away, and I walked up from the Kaipara Heads to Pouto Point, under the impres Bion that 1 could got a boat to go aboaid ami try and save some of my effects. When 1 reached the Pilot station I saw several men on the beach looking at the wreck, which was about 150 yards distant from tho shore. 1 asked them if I could get the use ot a boat that was on the beach with two oars and rowlocks in her. They told me that the people in charge ot the station were all away, but they would go off to the wreck with me, and just as we were about to launch the boat Mrs Smith came on the beach, took oars and rowlocks, and locked tuem up in the boathouse, afterwards say }iig, " Please don't touch any of the station boats." Mr Thomas, MrWinklemann (both of Pouto Point) and myself went on to Mr Sheehan, who immediately got his boat ready, and, accompanied by the above named gentlemen, I tried to reach, the wrepk.but could not do so, tho tide having turned, and the wrqck was drifting fast sea wards. After'floating about until Sunday porning it came ashore near the lighthouse, when several pieces of clothing were saved from the wreck. Had I succeeded in get ting a boat at tho pilot station.l could have got on board on Saturday, and I havo every reason tp think we could have saved the greater part .of our clothes. On Monday We were ordered to go to Pouto Point from the Kaipara Heads to attend the inquiry held by Pilot Smith about midday. One of our crew.askod Mr Smith if ho would allow four.of. them to sleep in an empty house belonging; to the Government, the key of which was in hia possession. His reply was "Have you got any blankets." -the man said "Iv'o we can do without wankets wo. only want to get under e.heltcr for, the nifjht, becauso our feet are too, sore and swollen to Walk back to the lighthouse and we are going away by the steamer in the morning." After a. littla [hesitation he told him he would see about it. Later on, about 3 p.m. another man asked for the house, and Mr onuth told him he would consider about it. » c were afterwards taken in by Mr Mitchell and Sir Thomas, and treated with the greatest of kindness. It is high time that someone in higher authority should fee into the rtato of things at Panto Point.—l am, etc., Thomas Williams, late mate of the Annabell.
