OF THE MELANCHOLY

WRECK

OF THE

"DUNBAR,"

MERCHANT SHIP, ON THE SOUTH HEAD OF PORT JACKSON,
AUGUST 20TH, 1857, WITH

ILLUSTRATIONS

OF THE PRINCIPAL LOCALITIES.

Warning not heard or seen—no help at hand—

The wide dark bosom of the angry deep

With irresistible and cruel force

Received them all. One only cast alive,

Fainting and breathless on the fatal rocks—

To weeping friends and strangers afterwards

Thus told his melancholy tale—
