Casualty at Sea. — A melancholy accident* involving the loss of three lives, occurred during the passage of the Sisters from'Hobart Town and Wellington to this port. On the 3rd instant the schooner sailed from Port Nicholson, and having run down as far asthe East Cape, Captain Clarke was induced, in consequence of the strong north-westerly winds, to anchor under the lee of the land on the morning of the Bth. At noon of Saturday, the 9th, Captain Clarke proceeded on shore for fresh provisions, in the ship's boat, manned by two steerage passengers, Robert and Andrew Tholburn (fishermen by trade) and two of the schooner's apprentices. They made the land in safety, but the natives being desirous that they should proceed further down the beach, to a spot where they could take in pigs, Captain Clarke, with the addition of a native to pilot the boat to the landing place, pushed off to sea. Unfortunately, however, in doing so the last breaker swamped the boat, and immersed all hands. After assisting one of the apprentices to the boat, Andrew Tholburn swam ashore. Robert r l holburn and the Captain (both good swimmers) remained by the boat to assist the apprentices, who were continually washed from their precarious hold. The native also for some time stuck to the boat, but, as it drifted seawards, he made for the land. Shortly after, one of the apprentices was washed off, and sunk immediately beyond recovery. Meantime, the Captain, having succeded in stripping himself, struck out towards the shore, but, in consequence of the exertions made to save his apprentices, in such .an exhausted state, that he sunk ere he had got half way, and must have inevitably perished but for four native women who swam off and rescued him from the waves. His preservers carried him to a fire on the beach, where they,used every means in their power to recover him, and fortunately, with success. The natives, six or seven in number, then hurried to the"boat to the assistance of the man and boy, burtmhappily all their efforts to save them proved unavailing. It is truly gratifying to be enabled" to state that the kindness evinced by the natives towards Captain Clarke and the other persons whom they had snatched from the jaws of death, was unweasied. They supplied them with clothes, food, and whatever else they could, and the following morning, when the wind moderated, they put them safely on board the Sisters. The names of the persons that prematurely called to their account are Robert Tholburn, James Clarke, and William Blackmail. — New Zealander, Sept. 16.
