BARQUE MANUREWA
ANXIETY TX SYDNEY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and K.Z. Press Association. SYDNEY, April 27. Fears arc felt for the safety of the barque Manurewa, which is twenty-seven clays out from Sydney to Clarence River, en route to New Zealand. Although the vessel is equipped with wireless, which was overhauled before sailing, no word of her has been received since her departure. The theory is advanced that ns there was a. strong southerly gale the day after she left her aerials may have ca> riod away and tiro vessel may have been blown far out of her course and then become, becalmed. The Mamirowa was in ballast, but she had sufficient provisions to last the return trip to New Zealand. Sho also had plenty of water. [Tho Manurewa, an iron vessel of 327 tons, is under the command of Captain R, G. Holmes. She has been employed in tho intercolonial coal and timber trade for some years past, trading mostly to North Island ports. According to the Sydney ‘Shipping List,’ tho Manurewa left Sydney on March 31 for Newcastle, where she had been fixed to load a cargo of coal for Kaipara. The Manurewa, which was formerly known as the Yale Royal, was built at Glasgow in 1884, and is owned by Messrs A. S. Paterson and Co., Ltd., of Auckland, and Captain R. G. Holmes. The vessel has made several trips from San Francisco to New Zealand with case oil cargoes.] ,
