Nelson Examiner and N Z Chronicle 31 aug 1850
Melancholy Accident.? A melancholy accident occurred on Wednesday, the 6th inst., at the Wairarapa Lake, by the upsetting of a canoe,, whereby Mr. Donald Drummond, Mr. John' Drummond, a half-caste child, and a native named E Rui, were unfortunately drowned. The particulars of the accident are nearly as follows: ? The Messrs. Drummond, accompanied by Mr. Charles Luxford, started from Wellington for Wairarapa, with a herd of cattle, on Tuesday, the sth instant. They arrived at the Lake in safety, and, as is the usual custom, unsaddled their horses, sending the saddles and bridles over in a canoe, and making the horses swim across. Mr. Charles Luxford wbb about to cross the lake, but at the request of Brigade Major O'Connell, allowed him to cross first. Mr. Luxford's boree refused to take the water, and he was therefore obliged to take the bridle in the canoe, and thus lead him across, which, however, was the means of saving his life ? the canoe having swamped, would have sunk, but the horse being on the weather side, they managed to reach the shore. At this time it was blowing fresh from the N.W., and the natives waited some time, when the wind lulled, and they crossed for the Messrs. Drummond. The canoe had reached about half-way across the lake, when it was caught with a heavy squall from the S.E., which came on 6O sudden and violent, that they were totally unprepared for it. Their first act was to throw the sheepdogs out to lighten the canoe, but it soon after filled, and sunk from under them. Mr. Luxford, on observing this, rode off immediately to Mr. Drummond's station for assistance (a distance of three miles from the place where the accident occurred), and returned with Mr. Ling and a stockman. When they arrived, the Maori had just swam ashore. Mr. John Drummond was last seen holding the child in his arms. Mr. Donald Drumtcond was seen up the lake upon the canoe. Mr. Luxford then hastened back to the pa to hurry the Maories for assistance. On his telling them that the native was drowned, the Maories became very much excited, and appeared as if they contemplated a general attack, demanding utu for their countryman. He received several blows from a stick on the legs, and escaped from further molestation by his horse leaping the stile of the pa. The body of Mr. Donald Drummond was found about eight miles up the lake, and the canoe about three quarters of a mile further on. The bodies of Mr. John Drummond, the halfcaste child, and the native E Rui, have not yet been found. The news was brought into town on Saturday last, and has created a great sensation among all those who knew them. Mr. Donald Drummond has left a widow and five children to lament his loss.? lndependent, 14th August.
