The relics of wreck found on the beach were a cannon, a ship's figure-head, and a small hatch. The cannon had boon found on the shore near Cape Providence, and, in our excited imagination!*, we pro pounded endless theorier* as to how it came there, but a distressingly unromantic solution was found to the problem. It is, no doubt, the gun which was conveyed there, about two years ago, for the pur pose of making signals, when the steamer Star of the South had to be beached after striking a rock, as she was running back to the shelter of the Sound. To the figure-head and the hatch, which lie on Chalky Island, much more interest at taches. What may have been the exact fato of the vessel to which they have be longed it would be hard to tell, but it is just possible that, caught in a gale upon the coast, she had been seeking the shel ter of the Inlet at a time when its other name—Dark Cloud Inlet—would more appropriately describe it, and struck upon the reef lying off, in her instance, the ironically named Cape Providence. A vessel striking there, stem on, might leave little more than her head-gear to drift ashore. I hazarded tho opinion that the Balleny Reef was more probably the scene of the wreck, if there was any, but, in that case, tho drift would have gone else where with the current, which sets to the southward along the shore. The figure head was, of course, weather and water worn ; but some of the gilding and paint still remained. It was the figure of a sailor, in white trousers and bluejacket, with gilt buttons—the figure itself being Oft. long, and the sctoll to which it was at tached 2Affc in length. The face and arms had been rubbed off; and it ia not impro bable that there had been also the repre sentation of a hat, for such a thing was picked iip by Dr. Hector during his visit to the coast.
