Otago Witness, April 15th 1882
A short time since the ship Phasis, which arrived at Lyttelton, from Calcutta, brought a boats crew - the captain, second officer, and ten men -that the master of the Phasis had picked up at sea. They had belonged to a Dutch ship named the Albasserwaard, which took fire, and they had been compelled to abandon her. From their report the other boats crew had not been heard from, but the following taken from a Montrose (Scotland) paper, announces the arrival of the missing boat at Cape Town. There was therefore, no lives lost:- "Cape Town, January 15th - The Alblasserwaard, from Sheilds for Batavia was abandoned on fire November 28th, in latitude 35.5 N., 80E. Part of the crew are known to be safe. Nothing known of the remainder - captain, second officer, and 10 men." The news of the arrival at Lyttelton of the Captain and men had clearly not reached the Cape at the time the above was written.
The Melbourne Argus of March 31st states it is conjectured that the ship Loch Maree may have been wrecked on some of the islands of New Zealand, and assigns as a reason for such a conjecture that the only intelligence of the Loch Maree (which left Geelong on the 29th of October last year, and is now over 152 days out) has been that given by Captain Murdoch, of the barque Don Diego, who was in company with the Loch Maree off Kent's Group on October 30th. The Don Diego was bound for Otago through Foveaux Straits, and before entering there encountered a heavy northerly gale. The sea was very high at the time, and the weather thick, and the vessels lost sight of each other. The gale veered round west about to S.E. and raged with great fury for some hours.

We extract the following from Mitchell's Maritime Register respecting the Woodville bound from Liverpool for this port:- "Woodville for Otago put back in charge of mate, vessel having gone ashore on Blackwater Bank on 25th February. The master (Nelson), boatswain, and two seamen got into one of the boats, which is supposed to have swamped. Vessel came off making water (not leaky, as first reported). On Sunday afternoon she was taken in tow by the Strathyre and brought to Holyhead, and from thence was towed to Liverpool."

The ship Misty Hall, which arrived at Melbourne on June 1st
from London, very narrowly escaped being blown up by gunpowder, the disaster
only being averted by the strenuous exertions of Captain Kilvert, ably assisted
by his officers and crew. On leaving London she had among other cargo many cases
of acids stowed on deck before the main hatchway and in the hold in the square
of the hatch there were about 22 tons of gunpowder. During the night of the 9th
March, the position of the ship being then 4 north and 24 west the chemicals
burst into flames, which rose to fully seven feet high. Captain Kilvert, with
his officers and crew, immediately set to work, and succeeded in throwing
overboard the cases. After accomplishing this it was discovered that the main
hatch tarpaulin had been ignited, and on stripping it off it was discovered that
portion of the fire had descended through the hatches, and was in close
proximity to the powder stowed there. Immediately steps were taken to throw the
powder overboard. A quantity was so disposed of before the fire existing about
it was put out. Owing to the burns and injuries received, the master and others
were more or less incapacitated from work during nearly the whole remainder of
the voyage.
THE WESTPORT ASHORE AT AKAROA
Christchurch June 14th
The steamer Westport ran ashore near Akaroa Heads this morning in a dense fog.
The crew are safe. She has no passengers aboard. it is believed that the vessel
can be got off if the weather continues favourable.
Latest.
The latest information about he Westport is that she has a hole in the forhold
and had to jettison the cargo. She eventually got off and steamed for Akaroa.
June 14th
The steamer Westport had on board 2700 sacks of wheat for this port.

Witness 11th Feb. 1882
It ain't the funniest thing a man can do -
Existing in a country when it's new;
Nature-who moved in first - a good long while-
Has things already somewhat her own style,
And she don't want her woodland splendours battered,
Her rustic furniture broke up and scattered,
Her paintings, which long years ago were done
By that old splendid artist-king, the Sun....
