RIVERTON. 11th January.
The We3t Coast prospecting party returned last night, bringing a shipwrecked seaman named McLean, belonging to the schooner Woolwich, which was capsized in the gale in Preservation Inlet. A man who was picked up on the rocks states that he and Captain Moody and other seaman, after clinging to the bottom of the vessel for some time, were enabled to reach, the shore. The other two started to walk through, the bush immediately on lauding, but as they had neither provisions, dog, nor gun, it is surmised that they niU9t have perished in the bush. McLean was picked up on the 10th December in a very weak and exhausted condi ion, after subbistit-g nearly six weekß on shell-fish. The vessel was on her way from Auckland to the Bluff. The party have not stated what the prospects were, but it is thought they are not very encouraging.
