THE CREW.
With the rough treatment and buffeting ! the men received in effecting a landing they were naturally considerably knocked about and soaked to the skin. The whole crew had made a hurried departure from tho vessel, and had hastily snatched such clothing as they could lay their hands on. The beach was for the time being converted into a drying place, and the native bush and flax tree were hung with a varied assortment of wearing apparel. The men really saved nothing of their personal effects. Captain Tatterin himself has lefh personal property on board to the value of two thousand francs (about £85 in English money), while the other members of the crew are also losers.
