The Deposition of John Besent, relative to the loss of the Parramatta
Schooner—
Being duly Sworn, Deposes— That he arrived in March 1812 at the Bay of Islands, in the King George (a ship belonging to Port Jackson). 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.
