Search for Shipwrecked People on Crozet Islands.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 16th October, 1888.

THE following despatch and its enclosures, received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, respecting the search by the French man-of-war “La Meurthe” for the wrecked crew of the “Tamaris” on the Crozet Islands, is published for general information.

GEO. FISHER,
(For the Minister having charge of the Marine Department.)

(New Zealand—No. 35.)
Downing Street, 30th July, 1888.

SIR,—I have the honour to transmit to you herewith a copy of a letter from the Admiralty [17th July, 1888], with its enclosure, giving an account of the search made by the French man-of-war “La Meurthe” for the wrecked crew of the “Tamaris,” and relating to the replacement on Hog Island of provisions in the interests of shipwrecked mariners.

I have, &c.,
KNUTSFORD.

Governor Sir W. Jervois, G.C.M.G., C.B., &c.

The SECRETARY, Admiralty, to the UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE, Colonial Office.

Admiralty, 17th July, 1888.

SIR,—I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit, for the perusal of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, extracts from a letter from the Commanding Officer of the French man-of-war “La Meurthe,” stating that he had replaced the provisions expended by the shipwrecked crew of the “Tamaris” on Hog Island.

As the New Zealand Government provided these provisions in the interests of shipwrecked mariners, it will interest them to know that they have been used; and I am to suggest that a copy of the report from the Commander of “La Meurthe” should be communicated to them.

I am, &c.,
EVAN MACGREGOR.

The Under-Secretary of State, Colonial Office.

TRANSLATION of Extract from the Report of the Lieutenant Commanding the Transport “La Meurthe” to the Captain Commanding the Naval Division of the Indian Ocean.

SIR,— . . . But first of all I must inform you of the principal object of my voyage, the search for thirteen shipwrecked Frenchmen, and inform you that I regret that I have returned without them.

The shipwrecked men were no longer on the islands when I arrived. I say were “no longer,” because they had lived there for seven months, and the department was not wrong in supposing that they were the crew of the “Tamaris;” but they must have perished in an attempt which they had made to go from one island to another in the group, if they have not been picked up by a vessel.

Here is now the absolutely exact particulars. I extracted them from a letter signed “Majon, Captain of the ‘Tamaris,’” which I found on Hog Island on the 2nd December.

“The ‘Tamaris,’ a three-masted iron vessel belonging to “Bordeaux, ran on Penguin Island, in a thick fog, on the “9th March, 1887, at 2 a.m. She struck about three miles “from the south-south-west end of the island, and the crew “was saved and directed in two boats towards Hog Island. “They reached it on the 11th March, having only had time “to get from the ship a little water and 300lb. of biscuits.”

Hog Island presents the most desolate aspect which one could imagine, so that the joy of the shipwrecked men must have been very great when they perceived on that desert land a hut, and in the hut the provisions and clothing left there by the English man-of-war “Comus” in 1880.

They lived on Hog Island from the 11th March to the 30th September. It was this island from which, on the 4th August, flew away the albatross, on the neck of which one of the shipwrecked men had hung a tin plate having these words written on it: “13 shipwrecked Frenchmen are refugees on the Crozet Islands.—4th August.”

The albatross had flown to die on the shore of Freemantle (Australia), where it was seen on the 22nd September. But nearly at the same time, when the presence of the shipwrecked men was revealed in a surprising fashion, they, having exhausted the means of living on Hog Island, had decided to proceed to Possession Island.

Here are exactly the last sad lines which ended the letter of Captain Majon: “Seeing food diminish, these unfortunate “men have supposed that on Possession Island they would “find as much, as here, as would enable them to await the “summer, when they hope that some ships may come to “pick them up. Those who read these lines are besought to “instantly come and see on Possession Island if these unfor-
