sengers were several women and children.
All on board took to small boats, and with
the few provisions which could be- hastily
collected set sail for the island. When
they arrived there few deserted huts were
found and the women and children were
made as comfortable as possible No
clothing or other effects were saved, except
pair of blankets, which were thoroughly
drenched. A few days later the boat in
charge of the first mate, with the boatswain
and three seaman, left the island for Samoa,

found TO be settling down, and it was i'm
possible to obtain any more provisions from
her When the small boat reached Samoa

was sent to rescue the survivors.
A short time afterward Capt. Hayward

was notified of the wreck of the Henry
James by Lieut.. CreSsap of the United

Palmyra at once. When he arrived there
he found the provisions of the party very
low, but they had been able to subs,st on
cocoanuts and few other articles found on
the island. No serious illness had occurred
The outcasts were given liberal donation
of clothes and money by the officers and
passengers of the Mariposa, and few DAYS
later they were landed at Honolulu, where
they will remain until the next steamer
