Because of the difficulty getting the Norwich City survivors off the reef, the Trongate and Lincoln Ellsworth moved to a location about a mile and a half south of the wreck site. As the native crews made more attempts at crossing the surf, that position too, was moved a little further south. The last of the survivors, including Captain Hamer, remained for one more night with the natives building a fire and cooking crabs and birds. When these last survivors were taken off, they "gathered what they could" of the "generous" supplies that had been brought ashore (to the new rescue location) and took them off. We don't know what supplies were left ashore, but Hamer had asked for "a case of milk would come in useful also matches, chlorodyne as some of us are getting diarrhea and any old boots (one pair size tens) and any old hats and tobacco". This last camp may have been the "bivouac" area that Bevington alluded to.
