MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
IDENTITY OF SAILING VESSEL. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. The Union Steam Ship Company has received a cablegram from Sydney that the Waihorta. passed close to the Elinor H. on March 11. She.; was practically becalmed. Apparently all was well. This disposes of the mystery attached to a vessel recently sighted by the Manuka. The Elinor H. is a fivemasted schooner, and was. in Melbourne on February 21. The papers do not indicate her movements. (Received This Day, 11.35 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day.
Captain Harris, ■ of the Waihora, ridicules the statement' that he reported a derelict vessel after leaving Auckland. He says he sent a Mors© signal to the Manuka that a fivemasted schooner was lying in her track. He presumes some passenger with a slight knowledge of Morse mis 7 took the message and spread the rumour.
(The early reports regarding this matter are published on page 6 of. this issue).
