tion from Hugh Evans (signalman) that my
son Edward, on Wednesday last, after my
leaving the Station, in charge of the "Aire-
dale," discovered the stern frame of a Vessel
on the beach, about four miles North of
Manukau Heads, and on further inspection,
saw the name, "Union," of Sydney, but no
trace of her crew, except an imperfect shoe
mark on the beach abreast of the wreck.
I am also informed that my son is making
further search Westward respecting this unfor-
tunate circumstance, and now proceed to the
Heads with all possible despatch, employing
extra boatmen, as part of my crew is sick.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) THOMAS WING,
His Honor the Superintendent,
