Wo learn from the Examiner that Captain Henry Lass and a crew consisting of nine men. of a barque named the Cito, which was wrecked on Cape St. John, Darren Island, on April 30, bound frem Adelaide to Newcastle, in ballast, arrived in town by tho steamer Corio. Wo give Captain Lass' statement of tho occurrence. which is as follows ;—Left the Semaphore on April 21. with changeable weather, which was ox- || pcrlenc d until the 28th. Passed King Island at| p.m. on that date, and at night the wind increased, to* a heavy gale from the north-west, tho ship lurching? very heavllv. At 6 a.m. on tho 29th tho ship because unmanageable, and would not steer, and th» captain used all endeavors to make her answer hur-heha, but could not do so. He then took up tho hatches to look at the ballast, and found that the bijgpj ports were forced out on both aides, and that the ballast, which was Adelaide loam, was flooded wjfcjb water. The pumps wore also choked with ballast, and tho mud was washing about In the, lipid; endangering tho safety of the vessel. Cantaip* Lass then shortened sail, and tho mate and f-opr men were ordered to go below and bale t!\o.water the hold with buckets, which they continued tintfl noon on the 29th, when, Uncling they.were.not getting the better of the-watcr-they (liaconMnued. At this stage the weatberbegan u and moro sail was made, and the vessel's-g head,hauled to north-east by north. At 4’p.m. on H lli? land was sighted, which proved to be Hurav n south-south-cast course. Captain Latsr managed to ] clear Ooo.sa Island by 10.30 p.m... and then steered a. 1 straight course for Swan Island. Shortly after lip. ra. a heavy squall broke with wind and rain, which obscured Goose Island light. Tho light was sighted at H. 45 p.m. by the second mate, wboreportod tho vessel was a long -way inside tha light. Captain Lass then hauled t’ ae ship's head towards SpuM-toUth-eaJit, and sot n»; oro sail, but the. wind fell ti<ht from the south, an»* t the ship was swept rapidly towards th-> breakers. Captain Lass then gave orders to clear away the '.nchora and unlash tho boat. Theanchor- brought the vessel up, tho rocks being under her bows, bu* not touching her : the vessel swinging WJ 1 her pr r t broadside against a conical rock about lift in height. The drawback took the vessel offi and) c ,° r aing in .again sho dashed against the rock* s *; ov mg in her port aide. A puff of wind! then caught vessel aback, and Captain Laos thought that when tho vessel rose with th®. next roller sh® might got out on tho other side of th® rock,, but the mile' came, and the stern was carried on to the rock 3% knocking tho sternpost out. Ho then ordered mf )TQ cable to bo paid out so that the vessel would av .i n g clear Into deep water again, but another roller ' came and dashed tho vessel’s starboard broadside on ’to the rocks. The boat was then lowered, and tho me n , w |th somo considerable difficulty, reached tho si tore in safety, and about 2f> minutes after tho vcf 3e i com . pletely broke up. Xno men wero, howove- enabled to get somo provisions from tho wreck, or the next day hoisted a flag of distress from a prominent folnt, w ioh was observed by Mrs. Beeton , 0 f Badger Island, who sent the information to Mr . Everett, who rescued tho crew, and took them to Badger Island, whor« they wero treated with t o gror *teat kindness by Mrs. Beeton. Tho Cito was a ba’.quo of 226 tons register. Danish built, owned by Mr. J. C Ellis, of Newcastle, and was about 14 ye ars old. She had made several most successful trlp 3 toother parts of the colonies with produce, and r/hon sho left Adelaide on the present voyage every possible arrangement had been made for tho safety and well-being of the vessel.— Hobarton Mercury.
