The Waterwitch returned from the sur. reying grounds about a week ago and anchored outside the mole. On Saturday she changed her anchorage to a point just off the north-eastern end of the mole and she was lying there when the disaster It happened about eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon. The Sea mew, returning to part after her monthly visit to Horsburgh Light for the purpose of changing the lighthouse crew, was abuping a course round the end of the breakwater to reach her usual berth in side.
