In October a schooner was despatched from Monte Video with provisions, under the charge of a Captain Smyley.  Too late he reached Spaniards' Harbour, and having just time to visit the _Speedwell_ in Cook's River, a gale springing up, he was compelled to put to sea without ever landing at Earnest Cove.  In the meantime, Captain Morshead, in the _Dido_ frigate, having sailed from England, was ordered to call at Picton Island with relief for the party.  After continuing the search for some time, they were about to abandon it, when the inscriptions on the rocks were discovered, calling on them to go to Spaniards' Harbour.  There the _Dido_ proceeded.  Maidment's body was found in the cave, Captain Gardiner's by the side of the boat, with their journals and books scattered around.  Their remains, with those found at Cook's River, were carefully interred in a grave on the beach--the funeral service being read by one of the lieutenants.  The colours of the ship and boats were struck half-mast, and three volleys of musketry fired over the graves. The journals--not a word of which was, as I have said, rendered illegible--were carefully forwarded to England, and, like voices from the grave, have undoubtedly instigated many to aid those who seek to spread the truth of the gospel among the savage inhabitants of those wild regions.
