NOTICE TO MARINERS,
No. 1 of 1894.
G. T. M. OBRIEN, Colonial Secretary.
Marine Department, Wellington, N. Z., 5th January, 1894.
Eleven of the crew of the barque Spirit of the Dawn," which was wrecked on the Antipodes Island on the 4th September last, having remained on the island for eighty-eight days without becoming aware of the existence of the dépôt of provisions and clothing for castaways which is established there, it is thought advisable to draw the attention of mariners to the fact that such dépôts are maintained by the New Zealand Government on that island, and on the Auckland, Campbell, Bounty, and Kermadec Islands, and that it is proposed to establish one on the Snares.
The following are the positions of the dépôts
Auckland Islands.—À dépôt is placed on the south side of Erebus Cove, Port Ross, and another in Camp Cove, Carnley Harbour. A third will be placed at the head of Norman Inlet the next time the Government steamer visits the islands. One boat is placed on the north-west end of Adams Island, another on Enderby Island, and one will be placed on Rose Island.
Campbell Island.-A dépôt is erected in Tucker Cove, Perseverance Harbour, and a boat will be placed at the head of that harbour.
Antipodes Islands.—A dépôt is placed abreast the anchorage on the north-east side of the principal island. Bounty Islands.-There is a dépôt on the principal island.
Snares Island.-A dépôt will be established on this island the next time the "Hinemoa" visits the place.
