LATER PARTICULARS.
MRYATES'S REPORT,
(BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Mangonui, this day.
The Staffa has arrieed here from the North.
The captain and Mr Yates report that early last week a lifeboat was washed ashore at Tom Bowlin's Bay branded with the broad arrow.
Two days afterwards a life-buoy came ashore, on which was painted "H.M.s. Dart."
On the 14th Mr Yates went to the West Coast, and ten miles south of Cape Maria Van Diemen picked up seven life-belts, an oar, one tin of casters, and a boat's mast and water keg. The boat is in the possession of the natives and is very little damaged. They will deliver her up when called on, and also the life-belts, water keg and life-buoys. He also reports a steamer seen close in amongst the rocks, but could not make her ' out or what she wanted. He thinkst it may have been the Hinemoa as she was in on the beach and inside some rocks. This was, however, probably the Centennial.
Constables Moar and Wright have been here to make further search.
