The Argus, 1st June 1858:
“STRANDING OF THE SCHOONER ‘MOUNTSBAY.’ - A correspondent, writing from Shoalhaven, , on the 24th instant, informs us that, on the previous day the schooner Mountsbay was lost on the bend of the Crookhaven [River]. Captain McCue (he says) of the steamer Nora Creina, sent out his life-boat, manned by a portion of the crew and two volunteers from the shore, who were accompanied by Mr. Barker, mate of the steamer, and Mr. W. C. Morrison, of Greenwell Point. Fortunately these parties saved all the cargo worth saving, but it is feared the schooner herself will become a total wreck. Providentially no lives were lost. - Sydney Morning Herald.”
