BOAT ACCIDENT.
On the Bth of this month, a boat containing a party of five young men was upset off the Tamaki, four were unfortunately drowned, the fifth, a young man named Horne, after a long swim, succeeded in gaining the shore. He found a party of natives encamped on the beach, who took off his wet clothes, rubbed him dry, covered him ■with their blankets, and in fact shewed him every kindness that lay in their pow r er; on the following morning also they went out in their canoe to search for the boat. We have not yet ascertained who the Natives were, but they are supposed to belong to the Wairoa. Kind acts such as these on the part of our friends deserve to be recorded, as they tend greatly to elevate the Maories in the estimation of their Pakeha brethren, and to draw slill closer the bonds of friendship which connect the two races.
