rest had leaked out. Besides the hull of the Holder Borden , Pell left 
about 150 barrels, a small wood house and sufficient timber to build a 
f 
small vessel, on the island. He planted about 80 coconut trees on the 
southeast point of the island. The day after leaving the island he 
reported a reef vith; heavy breakers at 27°06' north latitude and 174°25'

The ship Konohasset, Captain T. B. Worth, sailed from Sag Harbor, 
Massachusetts, for her first vhaling voyage on 6 December 1845. She 
recruited at Lahaina, Maui, in early May 1846, and left for the northwest 
•'\ r 
coast on 17 May. On 24 May at one o* clock in the morning, while under all 
sail before the wind, she struck on a coral reef which was not laid down 
* 
on any chart. “When the tide turned and the swells over the reef increased 
she bilged, and all hands were forced to take to the life boats with only 
a little bread and water. At daybreak they reboarded the split ship, and, 
from the mizzen rigging, sighted a low sand spit 17 miles away. The crew 
made their way to the island where they found port ions of the wreck of the 
Holder Borden, the house and the veil left by Captain Pell and his men.
