Worsp reports that the wreck is lying outside the beads about eleven miles north of the pilot station. Ho set out on horseback for the place, and while going away he saw a boat with the keel and a portion of the stern knocked away. Inside the boat was a life buoy, which the Maoris had found floating near it. He was also informed that a bundle of clothes, which from the description probably belonged to the captain, was also found about the same spot. Had the crow stuck to the vessel they would have been perfectly safe. Those who saw the ship strike state that they did not observe any boat leave, and they set out at once for the beach and lighted a fire there to attract attention. The vessel came ashore on the beach after dark, and was at once boarded, but the only living creature found was a cat. The frying pan was standing with the meat just as the cook had left it, and everything appeared to be undisturbed. The Maoris found a deposit receipt for £SO, and a purse containing a pound note was also picked up by a boy in the captain’s cabin. The captain was known to have a large roll of notes with him whan he left the pilot station. The Now Zealand Insurance Co. had £ISOO on the vessel, and the South British £863 on the cargo.
