INQUIRY INTO THE LOSS OF THE BARQUE GLENCOE. (From the Pref.s, March 13.) An inquiry, was iiclil at the Custom House, Lyttelton, before A. Rose, Esq., Collector of Customs, and Captain Watt; of the - Wanganui, nautical' assessor, into the cause of the loss of the barqUe Glencoe, at Gore Bay, on March 2,1878. John Carey, sworn, said: I hold a N.Z. master’s certificate, No. 29. I was master of the barque' Glencoe, registered tonnage 159 tons. X left Lyttelton on February 28, bound to Gore; Bay in charge of the Glencoe, with an original cargo of ironbark timber from N.S.W., arriving at. Gore Bay on the same day at 5 p.rn. ' The weather was very fine, and on the 27th we moored to the Government moorings there. Up to the 2nd of. March the weather was line, with variable winds. On- the ,2nd, itiwas blowing hard from the N.E., and at 5.30 p.m. ; the breeze increased In ferco, and the sea cot np. 1 We were then hanging-to the bnoy, with .30,■fathoms of chain, and when the wind, increased I let go- the port anchor. Chain was paid bat to 15 fathoms on fee port and W on the starboard side. I then found by sounding there was only Zj- fathoms' of water on the quarter, which rendered it impossible to give her any more chain, as she was 'drawing 02ft Cin. It then remained a simple question of- ■ the chains holding. If a vessel Is lying at the Gavem,ment mooring,, and it comes on to blow Rom seaward, it becomes Impossible to get out to sea with a jailing vessel. The wind 'and- sea increasing, we dragged our anchor and the Government mootings. Struck on the.'rocks :about'o:p.m-, the sea breaking aboard, still dragging, neither chain having parted. She struck alt heavily, unshipping her rudder, the sea

sweeping her decks clean. It was low_ water at the time she struck. I tried to slip the could only let go the starboard one. and finding it Impossible to save tn© ship I ordered all bauds to lower the boat. She was launched across the poop, and lowered on the lee side. We stove her in slightly forward. Three of the crew went in the boat, and managed to get a line ashore, and by this means by 9 p.m. we got all hands safely ashore. The barque became a total wreck, and is now lying on the beach. The cargo is still in the wreck. On March 3 tho second mate and three hands tried to get aboard tho wreck, but the boat was capsized alongside and stove, two of the men being nearly' drowned. The crew saved themavlvea by scrambling aboard the wreck. They escaped ashore by the line. . By the Nautical Assessor: My object in trying to slip the chains after the ship struck was to allow the ship to go as far up the beach as she would, with a view of saving life and as much property as possible. • By Mr. Rose: I have been at sea since 1851, and .have held a master’s certificate since April, 1875. The Glencoe was registered at Auckland, and well found. The owners «re Captain Daldy, of Auckland, and myself. The vessel is insured for £IOOO in the South British. Tho vessel was worth from £1209 to £ISOO. Tho cargo was not insured, but I-believe it will be saved. All bauds were aboard at the time of tho wreck, and did all in their power to save the ship and cargo. By Mr. Rose : There was no grog aboard the barque at the time of' the wreck. I bad made two previous attempts to land the cargo at Gore Bay, and in each case the vessel was lying there 17 days, but owing to the want of facilities I could not get tho cargo from the ship, and had to come back to Lyttelton. I found, however, that from the nature of voy charter, my consignees were not bound to take delivery of the timber in Lyttelton. I was not required to land the cargo at Gore Bay, but only to deliver it over the silip’s side. On the two previous occasions on which I visited Gore Bay, I depended entirely on my own chains and anchors. The Government moorings were not then laid down. , Charles Couch, chief officer of the Glencoe, and W. H. Candy, acting second officer, gave corroborative evidence. The enquiry then terminated.
