I then asked the officers and «mw to-remain by th« ship all niy-ht, but they refused to do, so,, stating that they were worn out. and she might go'tiowft with them, besides they might not set a chance to land again. VV"e then- got some provisions into the two boats., also a sail for a tent, and at f p.m. te.t the once splendid C&irewiteh with 6ft. of water in hoM. Tllo Captain then describes the breaking up of tha vessel- on the beach, and his departure with the •row in tha steamer Maori for Jackson's F4»y.
