STILL A MYSTERY.
EAST COAST WRECKAGE. (By Tclcgrnpli.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Friday. An inspection of the timber and hatch covers cast up on the East Coast near Porangahau was made by Captain \V. Stuart, of the Marine Department, today, but nothing was found which links them to any particular" vessel. He found the timbers were old and hod either been adrift for some time or were not cast up recently. Official inquiries leave no room for doubt that signals of some sort were made on the night of June 1, when rockets were reported to have been seen, but the origin of them and the five hatch cover sections cannot be traced.
