the flames reached the powder, which blew up with ter•
rific explosion, which was heard for miles distant. The
boats were, fortunately, far beyond its reach, and the
occupants escaped injury. The news of the catastrophe
did not reach Hobart Town till the 11th, when Mr.
Chapman, Lloyd's agent, directly chartered the Mimosa
steamer and proceeded to the spot, where he found the
captain and crew of the burnt ship collecting portions of
her shattered cargo and placing it in security on the
beach for the benefit of the underwriters. All that could
be seen of the wreck was her topmast, which is just
visible above water. There is strong reason to suspect
that the ship was wilfully set on fire. One of the crew
has been arrested on suspicion, and had undergone era•
inination before the magistrates before the mail left.
The passengers lost every portion of property belonging
to them, and many of them were reduced to compara.
