NARRATIVE of Mr. Guthrie, Chief Officer of the “Cataraque.”
The “Cataraque,” Captain C. W. Finlay, sailed from Liverpool on the 20th April 1845, with 369 emigrants, and a crew, including two doctors, Mr. C. Carpenter and Edward Carpenter (two brothers), of forty-six souls. The emigrants were principally from Bedfordshire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire; about 120 of the passengers were married, with families, and in all seventy-three children.
Nothing particular occurred until a fortnight prior to the 4th August, with the exception of the weather being boisterous, with a strong ale of wind from the north-west to the south-west, and incessant rain. On the night of §. the 3d August, at seven in the evening, the ship was hove to, and continued lying to until three o'clock on the morning of the 4th. At half past four, it being quite dark, and raining hard, blowing a fearful gale, and the sea running mountains high, the ship struck on a reef situate on the west coast of King's Island, at the entrance of Bass's Straits. No opportunity had offered for taking an observation to enable the captain to ascertain the ship's course for four days prior to the ship striking; and, from the dead reckoning kept, it was presumed that the vessel was in 141° 22' east longitude, and 39° 17' south, which would make her between 60 or 70 miles from King's Island.
Immediately the ship struck, she was sounded, and four feet water was in her hold. The scene of confusion and misery that ensued at this awful period it is impossible to describe; all the passengers attempted to rush on deck, and many succeeded in doing so, until the ladders were knocked away by the workings of the vessels; when the shrieks from men, women and children from below was terrific, calling on the watch on deck to assist them. The crew, to a man, were on deck the moment the ship struck, and were instantly employed in handing up the passengers. Up to the time the vessel began breaking up, it is supposed that between three and four hundred were got on deck, by the extraordinary exertions of the crew.
At this time the sea was breaking over the ship on the larboard side, sweeping the decks, every sea taking away more or less of the passengers. About five A.M. the ship careened right over on her larboard side, washing away boats, bulwarks, spars, a part of the cuddy, and literally swept the decks. At this critical period the captain gave orders to cut away the masts, hoping the vessel might right, to enable the crew to get on deck the o left below. The masts were forthwith cut away, and every thing done that could under the circumstances to get the vessel upright, but it was all to no purpose.
At this time the passengers below were all drowned, the ship being full of water, and the captain called out to those on deck to cling to that part of the wreck which was then above water till daylight, hoping that the spars would be of some service in making a breakwater under her lee, and thus enable the survivors to get on shore in the morning. As the day broke we found the stern of the vessel washed in, and numerous dead bodies floating around the ship, some hanging upon the rocks. Several of the passengers and crew (about 200 altogether) were still holding on to the vessel, the sea breaking over, and every wave washing some of them away. Thus those who were able, continued to cling to the wreck until about four in the afternoon, when she parted amidships at the fore part of the main rigging, when immediately some 70 or a 100 were launched into the tumultuous and remorseless waves.
The survivors on the deck still, however, continued to exert themselves to recover back all they could ; but many of them were dead, although but momentarily immersed. Ridge lines also were stretched along the side of the wreck, to enable them to hold on. The remains of the upper deck now began to break up and wash away. The survivors now began to collect bits of rope, so as to construct a buoy, with the view of floating it on shore, and thus enabling one of the crew to land. This measure would have enabled them to save the lives of at least 100; but notwithstanding every effort, the buoy could not be got nearer than 20 yards from the shore, owing to its getting entangled with the sea-weed on the rocks, and there was no one on shore to catch it, and secure it on the sand.
The fury of the waves continuing unabated, about five o'clock the wreck parted by the forerigging, and so many souls were submerged in the wide waters, that only 70 survivors were left crowded on the forecastle. The buoy rope was then hauled on board to rig life-lines and lash the survivors who were then clinging to the wreck; thus the sea breaking over them, the winds raging and the rain continuing heavy all night, the poor survivors continued clinging to the vessel's bow. Numbers died and fell overboard, or sank, and were drowned at the places where they were lashed. As day broke the following morning it discovered only about thirty left alive, the survivors mostly dead through exhaustion, and hanging where they were lashed. The previous evening the quarter boat (the only remaining one) was attempted to be launched, into which the boatswain and doctor (Charles Carpenter), with four of the crew, got, but she immediately capsized, and all were drowned.
As the morning rose, the sea was making a clean breach into the forecastle, the deck of which was rapidly breaking up. About this time, whilst numbers were helplessly clinging to the bows, and continually dropping off without the possibility of succour, the captain attempted to reach the shore, but was unable, and, with the assistance of some of those who were able, regained the wreck. The lashings of the survivors were now undone, in order to give them the last chance of life. Mr. Thomas Guthrie, the chief mate, now on the spritsailyard, was washed out to the bowsprit; he saw the captain and second mate and steward clinging at the bows, with about 18 or 20 only left alive, amid a host of dead bodies on the fragment of the wreck. Mr. Guthrie was driven to a detached part of the wreck, but soon found it was impossible to live with such a sea breaking over, seized a piece of plank under his arm, and leaping into the water, was carried over the reef, and thus got on shore.
He found a passenger who had got ashore during the night, and one of the crew, (Robinson) who got ashore in the morning. John Roberts, a seaman, plunged in when he saw the mate ashore, and, partly swimming and partly driven, reached the land. Five other seamen followed, and got ashore dreadfully exhausted. Almost immediately afterwards the vessel disappeared. Thus out of 423 souls on board, only nine were saved. The names of the saved are, Mr. Thomas Guthrie, chief mate; Solomon Brown, emigrant; John Roberts, able seaman; William Jones, ditto; Francis Millan, ditto; John Simpson, ditto; John Robertson, ditto; Peter Johnson, ditto; and William Blackstock, apprentice.
They had neither food nor drink from the time of the ship striking to the Tuesday afternoon, when they found one small tin of preserved fowl, after eating which, they went and laid down in the bush, having got a wet blanket out of the water for their only covering, and being quite destitute of clothes. The beach was strewed with pieces of the wreck and portions of dead corpses in horrible profusion. After a vain search for water, and being unable to find any more survivors, they slept that night in the bush. The following morning they found a cask of water ashore, but were unable to get means to make a fire. However, about 9 or 10 o'clock in the forenoon, they observed a smoke, which presuming they were on the main land (according to the captain's calculations) imagined it was a fire of the natives. However, they shortly saw a white man approaching them, who turned out to be Mr. David Howie, residing upon the island.
It seems Mr. Howie and Oakley, with one black, perceived there was a wreck on the coast through seeing portions of wreck, and most humanely arranged to instantly reconnoitre the whole island, and fortunate, indeed, was it for the poor exhausted and henumbed survivors, to whom he instantly afforded fire, and food, and constructed a shed against the weather. As Mr. Howie's boat was wrecked, there was no possibility of leaving the island. The party therefore constructed a hut, and remained five weeks, during which time they were most hospitably E. for by Mr. Howie and his party, of to their means, the supplies having to e carried forty miles over a most difficult road. Last Sunday (September 7th) they saw the “Midge” beating for the island; they immediately signalled her by a fire, and from her received every assistance. The “Midge” took them off the island with much difficulty, by means of Mr. Howie's whale boat, on Tuesday last, and they arrived in Hobson's Bay at half-past ten this day.
Throughout the whole of these trying events, the survivors give all praise to the captain and crew for their exertions; it was not until hope was utterly extinguished that they left the vessel. Mr. Guthrie, the mate, is also warmly commended. It was to his encouragement that most of the seamen saved, ascribe the saving of their lives in the manner above mentioned. They employed themselves in burying the dead bodies they picked up as far as was possible, the mangled condition of many of which it is too painfully horrible to describe; and they speak in the most gratified manner of the exertions of Mr. Howie and his party of sealers, who reside upon King's Island. Th e The survivors also particularly wish to express their public thanks to Messrs. Fletcher & Cockburn, owners of the “Midge,” for their promptness in attending to the signal upon the island, aud themselves incurring risk in waiting to fetch them off. Most of the ship's papers and the mail (except 35 letters) are lost.
Captain Finlay, who was a native of Dublin, has left a wife and two children in Liverpool to lament their loss.

Of the crew, consisting of 41 persons, the first mate, Mr. Guthery, six seamen, and one apprentice only, were saved. By this almost unparalleled calamity, out of 411 souls, including passengers and crew, only nine persons were saved. The accompanying List was compiled from two bundles of certificates of character of the emigrants, which were washed on shore from the wreck, picked up by the survivors, and brought to Melbourne by the first mate on the 13th of September.
