From a Painting by F.E.C.] SHIP STRATHMORE, Crozkt Islands, July 2, lß7s.— Captain Macdonald, 1472 tons, from London to Otago with emigrants. Sailed from London April 17, 1875. From the first a sharp watch was kept. All the party took turns to watch the signs', a mast and blanket erected on the summit of a high rock. This was, however, felt to be insufficient to attract attention, so they determined to erect a tower loft, wide and 25ft. high on which to place the flag. They, however, only succeeded in getting up to the height of 18ft., owing to the roughness of the weather.
