THE TRIP OF THE MABEL JANE, Some ten weeks age the schooner Mable Jane, thirty-five tons, under the command of Captain Welch, was fitted up by Dr Moncton and others, of Riverton, and sailed on an expedition to the Auckland islands, for the purpose of establishing a settlement upon them for the benefit of shipwrecked mariners, &c. She had on board, in all, ten persons (nine men and one woman), eight head of horned cattle (one bull, six young cows, and one steer), and six dogs. The vessel took her leave of Riverton, and put into Port William, Stewart’s Island, where they took in a fresh supply of fodder, and took a final departure from that port. After much privation and several attempts, the little ship managed at length to get a sight of the islands, and were about twelve miles of the land when a severe southerly gale came down upon them, and again they were driven from the object of their search, and were compelled once more to run up and seek shelter in Stewart’s Island. There they knocked about from cove to cove, picking up fodder for their live stock, and in doing so lost two anchors, and then were compelled to return to her original starting point, Riverton. Everything was landed in good order, save one cow which had been killed for a supply of meat. The season chosen for the expedition was a very bad one, for at this time of the year these islands are almost always enveloped in mist.
