The Minister of Defence received a wireless message from Commodore Hotham, of H.M.S.

A later message stated that four of the six men left on the island had been rescued, but- that the mate, named Nvdel, and a seaman, named Anderson, had not at that time been recovered. A message received on Sunday stated that one of the two missing men had been sighted just after sunset on night, and it was hoped to have him on board, and to collect the, last of the party the following day (Monday). The latest message received st-ates that all the men had been recovered, and that, the Chatham had sailed for Auckland. The party had had a camp ashore on the elifT with plenty of provisions and a fair amount of water.
