WRECK OF THE WELL-KNOWN BARQUE P.C.E.

PERILOUS POSITION,

The well-known barque P.C.E., (the vessel • w hich Roehefort escaped from New Caledonia) was wrecked on the sth inst. At five o'clock that day it was blowing a stiff gde. Captain Brown had sail short- Led and hauled the barque by the wind to w JJ.', and then by reckoning, the vessel was snDPOsed to be forty miles from land, with Nobby's bearing N.W. \W. The weather W as then dreadfully rough, with a high sea running. Nothing noteworthy occurred from this time until midnight, when the first mate having just gone below, the second mate came on deck, and called otit, "breakers on the lee beam and weather bow." Capt. Brown at once saw that his ship was so close to shore, that there was no possibility of keeping her clear, and he accordingly de termined to beach her, hoping by this means to save life. Immediately the vessel was got before the wind, she struck heavily in the breakers, bumped ashore, about two hundred yards, then went broadside on, and fell over with her deck towards the sea. The breakers were terrific, and the barque had hardly heeled over before SHE BROKE Iff TWO the main and mizen masts going through her bottom. By direction of the captain, the crew all managed to reach the port side, facing the land, where they hung on for some time by aid of the ropes, with a heavy surf repeatedly breaking over them. Believing the ship would go to pieces in a few minutes, the mate (Mr Aitchesson) directed those who conld swim to strike out for the land, but first every man divested himself of all clo thing except lannel and drawers. Two of the crew, named John Boadere and Samuel Bodgers, said they were good swimmers, and volunteered to make the first attempt to land, and a moment afterwards they left the wreck and were lost to sight. About a quarter of an hour elapsed, when both men were heard cooeying and shouting "AH Eight!"

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE MATE.

Another seaman named Joseph Campbell next essayed to land, and was followed by the second mate and the mate ; the two former swam ashore in safety, but the mate was very nearly lost through being dashed heavily on a rock and badly bruised on his Bide, Another roller, however, carried him clear of the rock and further in shore, but when nearing the beach he found the draw back so heavy and himself so exhausted by the buffeting he had received that he had almost given up hope, when one of the men who had landed, observing his officer close in, and seeing his state, ran into the surf and pulled him ashore. There were now on the wreck only the captain and the three men who could not swim, the captain having stated his intention of not leaving until all the others had left. We may here mention that a Chinese cook, who was on board when the vessel broke up, was not seen, and in fact not missed at the time. The captain directed the men who could not swim, to watch for pieces of floating wreck, on which they might drift ashore, where they would receive assistance. The foremast was then through the bottom of the ship, and the captain was holding on to the heel of the mast, when a heavy sea struck him off, and he swam for the shore. He landed first on a rock half way between the wreck and the beach ; but was almost immediately swept off, and the same sea also tore off his drawers. He again struck out for the beach, and after swim ming a short time, heard some one shouting, "Swim in here," and he was uext seized by the second mate, and dragged on a rock where the mate was standing. All were now wfely ashore except the

THREE MEN WHO WERE UNABLE TO SWIM, and the Chinaman; and the remainder of the crew remained on a rock, half perished with cold, and continually shouting in the hope that their fellow seamen might have been able to obtain pieces of wreck, on Which they could support themselves until sufficiently close in for assistance. to be tendered. The men had remained on the fore part of the ship, which continued to gradually drift ashore, but they had great difficulty in retaining their hold, by reason of the sea frequently beating over them. The stern had become jammed between two rocks close in to the beach, and the three men were thus afforded a most unexpected Means of saving themselves. It seems that when the vessel broke in two a stout hawser connected the fore and after parts, and, as the two drifted ashore, this had not parted. After the stern became jammed, the bow still drifted inland, and the men thus discovered the hawser, and by this means reached the stern, whence others of the crew assisted them in shore with a great deal of difficulty. The whole of the crew Waited for some time

IN A STATE OF NUDITY ON THE BEACH

in the hope that the Chinaman would make his appearance, but finding he did not do so they sought shelter in the bush, close to the beach, and huddled together for warmth until daylight, in order that they might as certain what part of the coast they had gone whore on. At daybreak portions of the vegßela were found on the -beacon, but nothing was Been of the Chinaman, and not withstanding that they searched for two Wrs, in parties, for a distance of four miles, they were unable to find aDy traces of him. The men were almost perishing with cold and fatigue, when one of their number found • bag of the mate's clothing, which was shared among them, and thus partially covered. About half-past eight a.m. on Sun day, they ascended a hill, and Captain Brown for the first time saw that his vessel had been cast aawy south'of Lake Macquane. The men walked some distance* until observ ing a house, they sought shelter, which was fre«ly given them. The house belongs to Mr Forbes, by whom the unfortunate cast : »wayg were most hospitably treated, being liberally supplied with food and warm drink, »nd after they were somewhat refreshed, Mr Forbes ferried them across the Lake, and ftey started along Nine-Mile Beach, in the direction of Newcastle. The mate had found his gold watch in his bag, and '« ieourity he placed it in a souweater, which he was wearing, and some of his olothea were strapped in a bundle, and car ried on his head.

ANOTHER NABKOW ESCAPE,

Nothing new transpired until the party jwfred at Salt Water Creek, which they had J*en told might bo safely forded. The creek, *Wever, was so much swollen that it was • ,«"UMI necessary to swim it; and this could ■■:Ni.-be done by some of the party. There . *»S a seven knot current, about one hundred y'fda wide, running, and thus the work of , Wting across was one of much difficulty and oanger.. For the non-swimmers a raft was • 2»»ttteted, but it was found unable tojbear jj» weight, and so they decided not to ' J?* laptHo;crosß y the creek, but to wait until '• ' *>! Water "ibeided. The others all swam I »worn ia ga f ety> batfnot before the mate was i 1 "-V '-IM' nf*rly drowned.

A curious case is before the Resident Ma gistrate today. The police summoned a civil servant for ill-treating a horse. Some of the witnesses said the horse had been in a piece of ground (100 by 40ft.) for ten or twelve days without any food. The horse was described as a mere bag of bones, and not fit for cata'-meat. Another witness described the animal as a lot of bones tied up in a sack. The only food in the enclosure had been a few docks and stumps of weeds. The charge was dismissed because the information was laid under a wrong clause.

DEATH OF THOMAS MACREADY.

Ax half-past four on Sunday morning died Thomas Macready, in the forty-eigth year of his age. In Mr Macready the city has lost one of its mo»t useful citizens. His views of public matters were always of a practical and suggestive character, and although not gifted with the power of making long speeches, his few well-chosen words were to the purpose and usually effective in their influence upon public bodies. Mr Macready had been un well for some time, but nothing dangerous was anticipated. Up to the last few days he was well enough to take his daily ride m his carriage. On Saturday evening however he became worse, and expired at the hour men tioned in his chair at the Star Hotel, Albert street the hotel which he had conducted for some years. Mr Macready was a Scotchman by birth and leanings. He was born at fctan raer, Wigtonshire, in 1827. He was a watch maker by trade, and left his native land for this colony in 1853. He has held a seat at most of our city boards, and was a prominent member of the old City Board, and since> of the City Council. He was amember of the Provincial Council for City West, and at the time of his death was the representative of Newton. Several important local reforms «c partly due to the exertionso Thomas Macready, who was elected a Public Build- Sss Commissioner and a member of the Harbourßoard. Mr Macready was a Pro vincial a man of BrinciSe who spoke out frankly and fear- Fessly upon eve?y subject that came under Ws notice. Mr Macready was a Mason of many years standing, and much respected by that body of men. :

THE FPNERAI/. Previous to the time of ■*"J^J3™£j hundred persons had assembled outside the late residence of the deceased, and a few SnuLs after three o'clock the. remams o* Mr Macready were with some difficulty got the hearse, and the following was the order of the proceseioß: -1.

4. Representatives of Provincial Council. 5. Representatives of the Council. 6. Bepresentatives of the Haibour Eoard. 7. The Licensed Victuallers. 8. General puMic on foot. 9. Carriages of citizens. A few minutes after three the funeral cortege moved towards .the cemetry, where the service was performed in an impressive manner by the Rev David Bruce, of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The funeral was conducted by Mr Black, undertaker, in a praiseworthy-manner.

LATE SHIPPING.

The brigantine Coronet is to be transformed into a fore-and-aft schooner, in which shape she will be more adapted for the Island-trade. The work is to be begun at once. The con tract has been taken by Mr 1). Gouk. The three masted schooner Fairlie arrived at Lyttleton from Launceston via the Bluff on Thursday last Including detentions the voyage wos made in 15 days. The Fairlie is loading for Auckland, for which port ahe will be ready to sail about Thursday next, The brig Albion left Adelaide on the 26fch ultimo, and arrived here this morning about an hour after the Victory.

A telegram was received in town to-day stating that the Kawakawa coal mimes at lluesell were free from water, and that the work of drawing coals was resumed this morning. It transpires they have been under water for a week, but the fact has been kept very quiet. _ Winter Evening Entertainments.—The time of year has arrived for lectures, concerts, and entertainments of various kinds. To aid tHe Good Templars and afford caterers of public amusement every facility, the present proprietors (Messrs Holloway and Garlick) have determined, after the Ist June, to let the City Hall at much lower rates than formerly. This Hall, the best situated of any in Auckland, and unsurpassed for its acoustic qualities, will be let for ten guineas per week, or two guineas for. a single even ing. These low terms \ rove the proprietors are doing their share towards proving cheap amusement.—Umbrellas are necessary com panions on winter eveniDgs, and Holloway and Garlick, having a very large stock, have resolved to clear them out at unheard-of prices, and have marked down: gents' good silk umbrellas to 7s 6d, 9s lid, 12s 6d alpaca to 4s 6d, Gs Gd ; ladies' alpaca to 3s lid ; silks to 6s lid. Call early on Hol loway and Garlick and secure one.—City Hall, 230, Queen-street. A Chicago preacher has locked himself up in the fourth story and draws his meals up with a bed-cord. He says they can't get up any slanders about him.
