(Southland Neios,June 19.) We are indebted to Mr Theo. Daniel, M.P.C., for the following particulars of Messrs Seymour, Brown, and Saunders' sealing cruise in fche fore-and-aft schooner Mary, of 8 tons, accompanied by the whaleboafc Lily, the party comprising fche owners named and a crew of five men. Mr Daniel, in an accompanying note, says : — " Hearing thafc fchey had Been a large quantity of wreck along tho beaches on the West Coasfc, between Caswell and Thompson Sounds, and also thafc they had picked up a lot of papers in the latter sound, I considered ifc a duty to report fche information, as ifc might give a clue to the fate of missing vessels. The account I send is from the men themselves." As will be seen, ifc is in fche shape of a rough " log," which we have thought ifc best; to leave, with the exception of a few verbal alterations, in the original form. " Feb. 19, 1872.— -Loft Port William, Stewart's Island. Called in afc Preservation Inlet for the night, thence to Chalky Inlet, and on to Luncheon Cove, Dusky Bay. Re mained here about a week, sealing among the islands and at Five Fingers Point. Saw no signs of drift wreck on any of the beaches thus far. Leaving the Cove we went through Breaksea to Daggs Sound. Thence ran through Gaol Passage and up through Hell's Gates, passing oufc of Thompson Sound, whero a few seals where killed. Called in afc Naucy and Charles Sounds, also afc Two Thumb Bay. Remained here about a week, and built; a small dingy. On the 30fch March sailed for George Sound, and anchored afc Fish Rock. Next; day wenfc into Bligh Sound, and ran up to Amazon Cove. Went up the river that falls in here ; got a lot of eels and birds for provisions — very numerous if you know where to find them. April 4th — Started for Poison Bay. Remained there a week, through very bad weather. Finding ifc nearly impos sible to get any further north, returned south ward, calling at Bligh's on the 11th April. On the 17th called in at Looking-glass Bay. Here for the first time wo found traces of wreck — some pieces of kauri aud red pine board, and part of a boat on tho rocks.
