PERTH, September 4. An interesting discovery has been made at Pelsart Island, one of the Abrothos group. The Dutch ship Batavia was wrecked there in 1627. Heavy gales recently blew away the sand, and exposed traces of an old camp. One relic in the shape of an old Dutch wine bottle was found to be intact.
