"Wreck of the Brio Fanny a Garriquks, in Palliser Bay. — We regret to have to record the wreck of this vessel, which took place in Palliser Bay, on the morning of Tuesday, the 30th June,iwhen on her voyage from Otago to this port. The Fanny A. Qarriques, Capt. Hanson, left Port Chalmers on the 24th June, with a strong breeze from the South. On Sunday, June 28, at noon, off the Kai Koraß, she encountered a strong gale from due South, with very thick weather, ran the ship till 6 p.m., when she was hove-to with her head to the Eastward, at 11 p.m., ran again until 7 a.m., on the 29th, when the weather cleared up a little : at 8 o'clock hove-to again with her head to the Westward, and at 1 p.m. saw the land on the lee bow, wore ship and kept her Eastward, thinking to clear Cape Palliser, but the strong current took the vessel in : about 6 o'clock on the morning of the 30th, Captain Hanson saw the land close a-head when he endeavoured to wear ship, but Bhe struck. She now lies on the rocks about 200 yards from the beach, about 7 miles inside Cape Palliser. The crew lowered a boat but she filled, and Capt Hanson got into her for the purpose of baling her out when a heavy sea washed him overboard, and h e Bwam for the shore, but was washed against the rocks and was unfortunately drowned. His body was picked up on Thursday laßt, about 3J miles from the scene of the wreck; it was quite naked, with the exception of the wristbands of his shirt, and a handkerchief round nte waist; the body was interred near the place where it was found. The crew stuck by the wreck until 9 o'clock at night, when one of their number swam ashore with a line, which he made fast to the shore, by which means the remainder got safe to land. The crew were there for two days before any person saw them, although only a short distance from Mr Charles Pharazyn's house, owing to the thick weather, they being hemmed in between two creeks which they could not cross. On Thursday morning, one of Mr Pharazyn's shepherds saw tlje wreck, when he informed Mr Pharazyn, who immediately went down-te the scene, and when he saw the position of the men, he supplied them with food, which he convoyed across the creek in a watertight bag. Mr Pharazyn and Mr Robert Russell behaved very kindly to the crew, doing everything in their power for their comfort, and the chief officer and crew wish to return their sincere thanks to them for their kindness. The crow arrived in town on Tuesday night, having been delayed by the swollen state of the rivers. The vessel now lies on the rocks with her masts standing, but her stem is all stove in and everything washed out of her. We understand that she is the property of G. S. O'Halloran, Esq., of this town, and was insured for £1000; £600 in the New Zealand, and £400 in the Australasian.
