The barque John o' Gaunt, well known in Lyttelton, has 'been sold to Italian purchasers for £4700. Thei handwriting on tho piece of board l found on tho Kinety-milo Beach by Mr Barton, and which appeared to be a message frcm a member of the crew of the ill-fated steamer Federal, has (says the Sydney " Commercial News ") been identified by Mrs Ada Henderson, of Lygoa Street, Carlton (Vic), as that of her late husband, Mnr Archibald Henderson, chief officer of the Federal. On learning of the finding of the bpa-rd Mrs Henderson forwarded) to Mr J. Yeates, in. whose possession it was, a copy of her husband's signature for comparison. The resemblance between the signature and the pencil writing on the board wa3 so marked that Mr Yeates sent the strange missive to Mrs Henderson without delay. Mrs Henderson, says >sho has not the slightest doubt that the signature is that of her dead husband. She has tried, with the assistance of the Victorian Government Analyst and a well-known Melbourne optician, to decipher some of tho partially-obliterated portions of the writing on the board,, but witho\it success, though tho word or words after thft pathetic "Good-bye" would probably have been found to represent her own name. Mrs Henderson has been requested to\retain the last message of her dead husband thus strangely presented to her.
