That he resided on the Island twelve months and during his residence there, he received the following account of the loss of the Parramatta Schooner:— That the Parramatta Schooner, after leaving Port Jackson, put into the Bay of Islands in distress for want of Provision and Water. The Natives supplied them with Pork, Fish, and Potatoes, as many as the vessel could Stow. After the Schooner had received her refreshments, the Natives wanted to be paid for them. The people belonging to the Schooner threw the Natives overboard, and fired at them, and immediately weigh’d Anchor. The Deponent Saw three of the Natives, who had been Wounded with small Shot by the Crew of the Parramatta Schooner. A heavy Gale of Wind coming on immediately which set into the Harbour blew the Vessel on Shore between Cape Bret and Terra’s district where the remains of the wreck laid when the Deponent was at New Zealand last March. After the vessel was wreck’d the Natives revenged themselves on the Crew for firing at them, and defrauding them of their Provisions, and cut them all off. “Signed” his John + Besent Mark Sworn before me the day above written “Signed” Samuel Marsden A true Copy Jno Obee Hocken Archive Reference Number MS-0054/017 27MB image/tif 6.0 Uncompressed MD5 ca54bfc5a860e5bf85414160560661a0 ACEMC 2778 3486 RGB manuscript Hakena MS-0054/017 196 mm 257 mm 2014:05:14 11:18:17.08 University of Otago Library, Reprographics Unit digital still camera Canon Canon EOS 6D 11.0 1 Manual 0220 1 11.0 6.9 1.4 Multi-segment tungsten flash did not fire 50.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 73.8 mm) 0 Subject is illuminated from the front side.
