Fatal Boat Accident; Auckland, January 13 - A boating accident at Hoteo, Kaipara harbour, on Saturday claimed the lives of ten people and only one survived after swimming 3 miles to shore to sound the alarm. The boating fatality occurred when returning from fishing at Small Island, and capsized near the entrance of the Hoteo river. Among those who drowned was Hart Beswarick - he was visiting the area looking for work.

THE KAIPARA BOATING FATALITY. This afternoon Constable Thompson telegraphed from Port Albert to Inspector Hickson that the boat which contained the pleasure party was found on Wednesday last, and that the body of Mr Beswarick, of Oamaru, was found in the channel, two miles from Motureno Island. The settlers showed their sympathy by attending the funerals in large numbers.
Poverty Bay Herald, 20 January 1896: Mr Beswarick, the Oamaru resident drowned in the Kaipara fatality, only recently went up to the Auckland gum diggings to try to earn a livelihood for his wife and children, who are now left in almost destitute circumstances. Beswarick was about to return to Oamaru, having offers of harvesting work.
