The report of the committee on the wreck and recent lose of life was to th* effect that it arose from the unfortunate, bu 4 wall meant, attempt of Captain Mills to save the City of Perth, followed by a misconception on the part of Captain McDonald as to Captain Mills’ reason for going off, caused by the miscarriage of a message sent to him by Captain Mills. It farther appeared that the immediate cause of loss of life was the upsetting of the third boat through inefficient handling. DUNEDIN, June 8.
