SHIPWRECK OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP OSPREY
NEW ZEALAND.—On Saturday dispatches were received
by the Lords of the Admiralty, communicating the total
loss of her Majesty's ship Osprey, twelve guns, com-
manded by Captain Patten, off False Hokianga, on the
coast of New Zealand. The following are the parti-
culars:—On Tuesday, the 10th of March last, the Osprey
went off the western coast of the above-mentioned co-
lony, returning to England. The master had taken an
observation, which proved that she was in latitude of
Hokianga, but the weather coming on thick and hazy,
she was kept off the land till the evening, when it cleared
away. She then stood in and fired two guns to announce
to the pilot at Hokianga that the ship was off the har-
bour, but again stood to sea for the night. .On the fol-
lowing morning, on nearing the coast, a high southern
headland, similar
.to Hokianga, was seen, with what was
presumed the ploys house, butt Which subsequently
proved to be a white spot on the cliff. Soon after
wards,
perceiving a flag run up, it was confidently
anticipated that it was the entrance of the Hoki-
anga, and the ship stood on, over the surf, bring-
ing the northern and southern heads in one. After
crossing the breakers, which were judged to be the three
of the Hokianga, the vessel touched the ground; but it was
thought that she was just merely on the bar, over which
she would soon forge, but almost immediately she struck
again, with increased violence, and a succession of
shocks brought the alarming conviction that she was on
shore, and that it was not the entrance to Hokianga, but
that of Haere-Kino, or False Hokianga, situate eighteen
miles from the real harbour of Hokianga. The guns
(12) were instantly thrown overboard, and the masts
were cut away, which, falling with the sails set towards
the shore, dragged the ship still higher on the beach.
On the tide receding, the vessel being about half way
between high and low water mark, the officers and crew
were enabled to land about two o'clock on the morning
of the 12th, with their small arms and some dry ammu-
nition, which bad fortunately been saved on deck, the
greater part having been thrown overboard. The
vessel stood upright in the sand, and appeared but
slightly injured ; it is feared, however, that she can
never be got off, owing to the character of the coast.
The natives rendered every possible assistance to the
officers and crew. The accounts state that they are
friendly and peaceable. The Racehorse had been dis-
patched from New Zealand, to bring
.back the unfor-
tunate ship's crew. A court-martial will be appointed
to try the master for the loss of the Tessa
