AN ANCIENT WRECK.
, LOOKING FOR TREASURE. [Pbess Association.] WELLINGTON, July 27. >■ The wreck of the steamer Rangi- • toto, which sank off Jackson's Head I in 1873, was recently visited by a diver in search of the cargo of copper plates she was supposed to carry. The steamer was found overgrown with kelp, and the engines were in a remarkable state of preservation, but thickly encrusted with submarine growth. No copper was found, but the afterhold contained a large quantity of liquor of various sorts. Some was sampled and found to have improved by submersion, except the brandy. No money was discovered in the strong room, it having been removed when the vessel was abandoned.
