WRECK OF THE JANE DOUGLAS.

The crew of the Jane Douglas, which was wrecked this week on Saddle Rock, between Stephens and d’Urville Islands had a trying time. The captain was the last to leave the ship. As the water came level with the deck the captain grasped a lifebelt, but was sucked under some distance. He came up half drowned, but still clinging to the lifebelt, as he was unable to swim a stroke. After some seaich the boat found him in rather a bad way. The course set by the boat was for Port Hardy. A heavy sea soon tired the rowers, who took turns. Four hours were occupied in struggling to land, ant! when it was reached they were unable to get ashore, the tide being against them. At 5 a.m. they effected a lauding and tramped mostly shoeless over the rough country to fford’s homestead, where they received even kindness. Here they stayed till three in the afternoon resting, as the captain was far from well alter his immersion. Then they were taken on to French Pass in a launch, where they joined the Pateena.
