Capt. Gilroy, and the Search Expedition j™ eharye of Mr Heavy Armstnmy. The Amherst’ after a fair passaav arrived at Port Ross, about the thid rchniary. Tlie Fannv, at tills tree was at anchor in Camp Gove, Carnley Harbor, ami her crew were much surprised on the arrival (on the 4th of February,) of the Amherst's two boats in ehaiyc of Capt. Gilroy and sir Armstronc. They reported haviny oomc round the west coast, the vo.o on which me General Grant- was wrecked, 'out had failed to discover any vestives of the ship or to identify the exact l-mality of the place where she was lost. They creeled a (lap-taff on the followinsr 'lay on Musyrave's Peninsula, and doubtless left the stores in the hut before proeesdiny to Saddle Inlet, where they in to a,led to for. n another depot in accordance with instructions, and then proceed from Port Ross to Campbell's and Antipodes Islands. In all their wanderings in search of seal—which ’nave to bo hunted' far inland, throuch dense scrub, as well ns on the beaches’ the Fanny’s people have found no traces of other castaways than those already known to have so lone inhabited the island.

Tiio Hokitika Star. of she SfUlt rchnwry. circs the following account of an koci.'.v-nlonihc* Jlokiliar . It. if our r.irlancho’iy duty to report a very fad and fatal accident vrhieli oectUTed on the

tar to-day, caused by the capsizing of a boat nhich was attempt in:: to cross about an hour before high water, anil by which two men lost their lines. U appears that, iemr.red by the smooth,ness o. t iu- sea this niomin- a party of four men we t in one of the nvor-boats, for the purpose o* ta.t-c m the roadstead, The wind being calm,

the break was crossed without difficulty, and they uad oce-n at their occupation about two hours . wi,eu the wind became much fresher, and grraduauya siroug breeze set iu from iuu southward amrtho sea began to rise. Seeing these indications. the boat turned towards the shore the «•>=) uoisted, and all haste made to res"'ii ti, n Vi.o r lore tlie bar became impassable, iu*which ’ “howo v er, t bey did not succeed, for ere the boat entered the surf a very considerable sea was breakim- ou the shore. They, however, pushed for the "bar still keeping the sail set; scarcely had thov entered the break when her sail was observed to flau in cue wind, and, coming bioadsideou to ihe'sea she immediately broached-to and capsized float' mg heel upwards, the whole of the crew were j filfifihlKuuid gj ‘"p ** **ter, but managed to get on the tenacity of men struggling for their lives 1 ! Ilowci er, the boat having by this time drifted well into the surf, this refuge soon became barely tenable, as the sea was malting clean breaches over the heads of the unfortunate crew, each of whom was repeatedly washed off, and sometimes the whole of them were struggling in the water at one time to regain their unsafe hold of the boat’s keel. On one of these occasions the first man was drowued, as on his comrades regainin'’ their hold he was immediately missed. Another was swept off, and was so exhausted that he was unable to got to the boat again. Ho shouted to nis mates—-' X am sinking! ” but they could afford no assistance. The steamer Liouess, which vessel was coming inside with the Lizzie Colcsou iu tow, at once told her to anchor, and made all speed to the scene, but unfortunately her process was impeded by the tow-line, Meanwhilethe Favorite was also coming in from tendering the Lgmont, ahd seeing the Lioness heading for the bar with a tow, had eased steam to allow her to pass in first, but, becoming awaro of the accident she bore down with despatch. IXer arrival preceded that of the Lioness, owing to the latter being encumbered with the tow-line, and she, finding that her services wore forestalled, immediately returned to her charge. We are informed bv ail eyc-wituess, a member of our staff, who happened to be on board the steamer, that three men could I bo descried on the boat’s bottom from the steamer, I but when the next wave had swept over the mong but two of them were visible. These she succeed-j ed iu saving, and brought them ashore. The names of the two men who were drowned are Ricaard Boyt and Daniel Vroud; the latter some time ago formed one of the harbor boat's-crew. ■hiving tire afternoon the bodies of the two men were recovered, they bavins been washed ashore about a mile north of the bar, and were taken by ■ he police to the Oddfellows’ Hail to await the inquest. tVc learn that one of the unfortunate men I leaves a wife and family to mourn his loss. |
