Hill, of the Niagara, longitude 175 deg. east, latitude 30deg. south. Finder please return to United States Hydrographic Department, Washington.” The document was sent to the American Consul at Brisbane. The position given is 200 miles north of North Cape, New Zealand. Captain Hill stated that although the bottle had been picked, up only a thousand miles west of where it was dropped it might have been drifting all over the Tasman.
