"Bruce"

Otago Witness – Saturday May 15, 1858 page 6

The "Bruce," from Glasgow, charted by Messrs. Holmes & Co., arrived off the heads on Wednesday. She is a remarkably fine clipper, of 2000 tons, and has a large cargo for this port, together with 110 passengers, chiefly single men sent out as servants to Mr Holmes, who has made extensive purchasers of land in Otago. The Captain, having endeavoured to enter the harbour without a pilot on board, ran his vessel on shore outside the heads, near to the spot where the "Revival" was wrecked. Has it come to blow would probability, have been lost. Fortunately the tides have been low, and were rising. She swung off on Thursday evening, with the flood-tide, and was yesterday, safely towed up to Port Chalmers by the Geelong. On Thursday her passengers landed in Dunedin. The "Bruce" had no business near that spot where she went ashore, but we hear it said that the Captain was misled by a red flag hoisted as a signal to the Custom-house, but which he took to be a signal to come on.
