West Coast Times, New Zealand, 1st March 1870 :
“With reference to the loss of the Camden at Rush Bay [Brush], the S. M. Herald supplies the following : - ‘By the Illalong, steamer, from the Clyde River, we learn of the total loss of the barque Camden, of this port. She was from London, whence she sailed on the 4th of September, with a general cargo, under the command of Captain Sutton, bound for Sydney. She had made a very protracted voyage of 146 days up to the date of her wreck, which occurred on the night of the 30th ultimo. The ship was keeping the coast well on board, and mistaking the headlands to the southward of Ulladulla, went on shore between Rush Island [Brush Island] and the mainland. As there was no hope of saving the vessel, the crew took to the boats, and succeeded in reaching the Clyde River. One man has been left in charge of the wreck.”
