WRECKAGE SIGHTED.
OFF CAPE PALLISER. (BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATIONWANGANUI, Dec. 29. The question as to whether it was the remains of the lost steamer Ripple has been raised in consequence of the sighting. of wreckage by the steamer Vulsella when approaching Cape Palliser on her recent voyage from Napier to Wanganui. The captain of the Volsella states that wreckage was sighted when within a couple of hundred yards. It appeared to be the top of a mast, with a. wire rope attacked to it. The mast was stationary and evidently attached to a large submerged object. As the location was noted it seems probable that the matter can be cleared up by investigation.
