KAWHIA

On Sunday, the 29th June, the weather was most tempestuous.  In the morning, a vessel named the "Ana and Sarah", crossed the bar in safety, and entered the harbour.  Soon afterwards another vessel was seen
attempting to cross the bar, but in effecting it, she broached to, and was turned bottom upwards.  The anchor went down, and she laid quite unapproachable on account of the heavy sea.  Every soul on board, four
in number, perished.  She proved to be the Richmond, Capt Brown, from Nelson and New Plymouth, and Mr Aubrey of the latter place, was a passenger.
