FIFTY-SIX DAYS OUT.

THE MARY ISABEL. AUCKLAND, Nov. 3. The wreckage reported to have lieen found on the Great Barrier proves to be an old meat cask thrown overboard from the Island trading schooner Ysabel and some drift timber. It has no connection with the missing barque Mary Isabel. The long voyage the 300-ton barquentine Mary Isabel is making from Wangape (N.Z.) to Sydney is causing some anxiety in shipping circles. The vr sol is 50 days out. Sailing vessels leaving New Zealand for Australia have been known to make exceptionally long trips. The Mary Isabel carries 350,000 feet of timber. She is in command of Captain Cooper, late of the Union Company's training ship Dartford, and is to the agency of Messrs R. S. Lamb and Co.
