PASSENGERS AND CREW OF THE TAURANGA.
We cannot yet fully ascertain how many may have been on board the unfortunate steamer when she steamed from Auckon her last voyage. It has been so usual for passengers to step on board at the last moment, that there may be others about whose fate uncertainty nrtty clintt lor a time, until continued absence prove that they too went down in the iauranoa. The list is sufficiently long and sad, and the number of poor wives and little ones that have been bereaved is heartrending. The following is the li^t of the lost so far as lus been ascertained : — Passengers. Mr. E. Hector, surveyor, native of the Bay of Islands. Mr. John Wall, Canada. Mr. John Walters, Auckland, brother of Mr. W. Waiters. Mr. Land. Chew. E. .Bolger, Muster, Bay of Islands, single. W. Harwood, Bay of Islands, engineer, married. John D. Munro, mate, married, Bay of Islands. W. Daveney, fireman, married, Newton. C. Jobson, fireman, single. Gh Oiilhiuii, trimmer. Griffith Pritchard, A.B. Chas. La c, A.B. W. E. Ransom, V.8., single. Wm. Forster, A.B. Christi Reynolds, cook. Wm. Hahn, provedore, married, Auckland. Munro leaves a wife and two children ; flnrwood, a wi/e and one child ; Daveney, a wife and family ; Hahn, a wife and six chil Iren. . We have no doubt that there will be a warm and sympathetic response to the various effoits tor the relief of the bereaved, which have been so promptly undertaken in this city.
