The "Jane" was possibly a sloop of some 15 tons and was owned by Robert Mills, who was also the captain. On 10 June 1816, in the same storm that wrecked the "Edwin", "Jane" , with "Edwin" made it as far as Cape Hawke, where the two ships separated. "Jane" was never seen again. Mills and his two crew were presumed drowned.
