SUPPOSED WRECK OF A SCHOONER.
[BY TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORRESPONDENT,)
WELLINGTON, this day. A quantity of wreckage has been picked up in tbe bay near Terawhite. It comprises a life buoy with "Hannah Barratt, Wellington," painted pn it; part of a boat's fittings, two oars, and what appears to be the remains of a hatch. The schooner Bannah Barratt left here in ballast on Monday for Picton to load timber, and as no word has arrived of her reaching her destination, it is feared that the little vessel has met with some disaster, as very severe northerly weather was experienced shortly after her leaving this port. The Hannah Barratt is a topsail schooner of 57 tons, and is owned and commanded by Capt Frederick Itenner. Her crew consisted of A, Carlson, P. Fisk, and Andrew Schloper. t;apt Edie, of the Wanaka, reported on arrival herefrom Lyttelton on last Wednesday, tbat on Tuesday he passed a large floating object, which resembled either the back of a whale or a small vessel bottom upwards, but it was too dark to say positively.
