WRECKED LUGGER.
PRIVATIONS OP CREW OF FOUR
(Received 10.30 a.m.)
DARWIN', this day
A message was brought by a fisherman that four men, whose bigger was wrecked a fortnight ago on Horseshoe Reef, about .">0 miles south-west of Darwin, are now at Point Charles, suffering seriously from privations. One has been blinded'by sandy blight. From the meagre details available it appears that the men were sailing a lugger from Broome to Darwin when it was wrecked. The men lost all their provisions and made their way to Grose Island. Eventually they staggered into a farm near Point Charles.
