Inspector Hutton, who .returned from a trip to the stranded Port Elliot, told a "Poverty Bay Herald" reporter a rather good story or the wreck. On a point not far from where the vessel was scranded lived a. Maori family, and between their house and the point at which the vessel struck was a little creek which, said the inspector, would hardly float a matchbox. A young Maori girl heard the distress vessel on the rocks, and seeing the liphts, ran into ber mother, calling out, "Mother, cosno quick, there a great big Horn© boat coaling up oar creak."
