THE PENGUIN WRECK.
(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, March 19. The recommendation of the Coroner's jury that some at> tempt should be made to locate the wrecked Penguin is not viewed with favour by the Marine Department, as, in the absence of any reliable guides as to the vicinity in which the vessel made her last dive, the possibility of finding the wreck is very remote. No one appears to have any idea where the wreck lie., therefore so large an area would have to be drngced with grapples tr-3t a month's work might prove futile. The cost of a vessel like the Tntanekai. whpn in commission, amounts to something like £30 a day. and the- Marine Department dr.es not consider a search should _ be undertaken unlcMi more definite information concerning the vicinity of the vessel is forthcoming.
