Doctor Wanted.

"On the 2nd March, we were again requisitioned. A ship signalled for a doctor, and Dr. Erson again went to the rescue. He found a young fellow who had been suffering with a broken arm for 28 days. The arm was amputated, and the man greatly relieved. The ship was the James Grimsby from Bak to San Francisco. After this, all went well, and we had a fair run to the coast, sighting the North Cape on May 13, and anchoring in the harbour on the 17th.

"Mr. Basley, who was third officer on this passage is now Port Missioner at Auckland. Captain Owens of the Maria Agatha remained in New Zealand and commanded the brigantine Pendle Hill, Ada C. Owen, the barque Casa Blanca, and the brigantine Wanganui. He has now retired, and is settled in Auckland. Myself and Mr. W. Walker, two of the men who rescued Captain Owens are also living in Auckland."
