On the up trip from Russell of the lona, when midway between Wide Berth Islands and Elizabeth Beef, sawa]boat full of men making a signal, stopped and found it to contain the crew of the brig Sarah, Captain John Thompson, from Wellington, bound for Wangaroa, to load timber for Melbourne. The captain gave the following particulars of the loss of his vessel.-—Left Wellington on Wednesday, May 16th, experienced heavy westerly breezes till Monday, 22nd, on that day had light northerly weather with high barometer, towards night the weather appeared more threatening; midnight, blowing strong from N.E; 8 a.m, galo still increasing, with high confused sea and heavy dense rain—could not see more than two or three lengths off the ship's head. At this time sighted land, supposed to be Cape Brett. Barometer falling steadily. Hauled offshore on the port tack, ship heading E.S.K, and driving bodily to leeward. Sighted rocks ahead, wore ship on starboard tack. The fore topmast staysail blew away in wearing. At this time the gale had increased to' hurricane force, could not carry any sail to carry her off the land. At 2 p.m. the ship being in soundings, let go both anchors, paying out all the chains. After hanging on for some time the port chain parted, and the ship began driving ashore on to the rocks. Seeing no hope of saving the vessel, got the boat out to try and save our lives. Managed to get to leeward of a small island—fortunately the only place that a boat could have landed on the coast. &j this time the vessel had dragged ashore, the sea making a clean breach over her. Found we could da nothing, made a fire, and passed the night under the rocks, Next morning found the ship had washed over the rocks, and was badly bilged, about twenty feet of her keel gone, rudder knocked away, and the vessel a complete wreck. Rigged tents on the beach with the main topsail and foresail. Lost most of our clothes, the sea washing most of them away. Came across Mr Thomas Hansen hunting cattle, who took us up to his station, and treated us in the most hospitable manner, and taking us on Ooa. it tin' s.h iona as she pasned. The Sarah was owned by Mr R A. Wright, of Williamstown, Melbourne, and was insured in the South Australian Insurance office.—' Auekjimd. Herald, 37th ult.
