The ship's captain from London refused Cotton permission to keep the hogshead on board so it was discarded on shore and Cotton was forced to house the hives as best he could.

I did so and was sorry for it as I foresaw that my Bees would have but a poor chance of getting to their journeys end. The Hives were placed some in the jolly boat, some on the hay which was stowed on the quarter . ”Cotton's letter dated 30 December 1841, passed to a homeward bound brig on 21 January, stated the bees were safe. In his own hand Cotton revealed the fate of his bees: “the sailors were unfortunately so very fond of honey, that many of the Hives were turned up in the night, and the combs rudely pulled out.

After being away for nearly three months, Cotton arrived back at Waimate early in 1844 and Selwyn returned a few weeks later. Later in 1844 Selwyn decided to move some 160 miles (257 km) south to
