I heard this Story from

- Neptune

Some of the people went away and others went to Hospital. One man was dead and another had a broken leg. It was minded by the Kelly coast-gaurds afraid anything would be stolen. It came in on the 16th of January 1860.
A boat very big came in and tried to take the Neptune away. The Duke-ella people did not get the best of the boat, the Castle people got it.
