They remained on the Snow-Harrington for the night, but on the following morning sighted Le Naturaliste, and, after profusely thanking Captain Campbell for his generosity, soon picked her up. Hamelin, having no instructions as to where he should go, resolved to devote himself to work in Bass Strait.

Her skipper, Campbell, took them on board, supplied them with warm food, and offered to convey them to Port Jackson forthwith.
