After sailing, the wind chopped round to S., then into S.VV. strong, and when off Shag Reef, et 4.43 a m., the forrstaysail blew adrift, and the second mate, Alfrel Jnroos, and a siamm, Robert Pearson we.it on the forecastle to secure it; in dohrj so. the vessel took a plunge in the nasty sh.;rt ch.'pof a sea, caused by the c'lange of wind, shipped a heavy one and wa bed Jar.irs overboard. Pearson was thrown down Underneath the windlass and heard James cry out from oppositc the forecbains. Lite-buoys were thrown overboard in hopes t hat the poor fellow would get imp. The vessel was ki'pt cruising about for throe hours, but. no signs of James were observed.

The engines were easel ai.d her speed thus lrssened as a precaution for the safety of the men f rward. James was a native of Bridport, England, njed 31, and leave? a wife and family in Dunedin to mourn his loss. He was eight or nine years in vessels on the coast, and previous to joining the Maori was an officer in the Beautiful Star and Wainui steamers, and highly respected by all who knew him."
