vessel in which she arrived in this country,
and female at whose house she was re-
ceived upon coming TO London. for the pur-
pose Of mentioning the particulars OF her
dreadful adventures amongst the inhabitants
OF the shores 10 which the crew resorted as
a refuge from the more appalling dangers
OF the ocean.
On the 10th Of May, 1885, the Stirling
Castle left Sydney for the purpose of going
TO SINGAPORE. On the I'd. when they were
approaching Torres Straits it blew very
fresh, and there being a current near the
Eliza Coral Reefs. which the vessel was
unable TO resist, she struck on the reefs at
about nine o'clock at night, where the cap.
tain was incapable. on account Of the hazy
weather, of making observations There
were about eighteen men on board, two
boys, and Mrs Frazer. the Captains wife.
who was far advanced in pregnancy. Two
OF the men who we're at the wheel were
killed when the ship struck. and the cabins
were dashed into the hold, together with all
the bread, beef pork. and other provisions.
The crew. when the tempest ceased, con.
trived to cut away the masts, in the oxpecia-
ton that the ship would right herself, and
she did in some degree change her position,
but not to any servicable extent; they there
fore determined 10 get away as well as they
could in the long.boat and the pinnace,
which they had contrived to keep secure,
the two other boats which were attached to
the ship having been swept away by the fii-
~ OF the elements. They knew that they
were to the northward of Moreton Bay. a
portion of the settlement Of the English
Crown. and they determined to make for
that place Accordingly, having worked
with the most desperate industry until four
o'clock on Sunday, they Quilted the vessel
and took to the boats The ships carpen-
ter, the cooks mate, J. Frazur. the Cnp.

Bill Lorton, a seaman, took to the pinnace !;
while the Captain, his wife. the Chief Mate
the Second Mate the two boys. and the rest
ofthe crew. took to the long-boat. Four
days after they committed themselves 10 the
