The Sydney Morning Herald, 22nd March 1888 :
“CAPTAIN C. JOHNSON and crew, consisting of three hands, who belonged to the schooner Growler which was wrecked at Gerringong on Sunday last through the parting of the vessel’s moorings in a S.E. gale, arrived in Sydney on Tuesday morning by the steamer Peterborough from the scene of the disaster. The captain states that the kindness shown himself and crew by the residents in the vicinity of the disaster was most opportune and genuine. The National Shipwreck Society have given the captain the sum of L10 for the purpose of providing the crew with clothes and other necessaries, they having lost all their personal effects. The Growler was bound from Tomakin to Sydney with a cargo of 18,000ft. of lumber. A Marine Board inquiry will be held on Monday next.”
