Rescued.

For a long time the unfortunate people drifted about, but eventually to their joy they saw a sail to the eastward. Quickly it came over the horizon, and the vessel proved to be the Alice Cameron, one of the Circular Saw Line, bound from Auckland to Sydney. No time was lost in getting the shipwrecked people on board the newcomer. It was providential that the Alice Cameron came along just when she did, as before the day closed a heavy storm come up and the rescued people saw the Badger go down. Captain Leddra's daughter, who is still living in Sydney, tells the story of her tragic first trip in a letter she wrote recently to Mr. Thomas Henderson, of Auckland, son of Mr. Henderson, of Henderson and Macfarlane, who owned the Circular Saw Line.
