THE PENGUIN.
VESSEL NOT TO BE LOCATED, (Per Press Association.!
WELLINGTON, March 19. _ The recommendation of the Coroner's jury that some attempt should be made to locate the wrecked Penguin is not viewed with favour by the Marine Department as in the absence of any reliable guide as to the vicinity in which the vessel made its last dive the possibility of finding tho wreck is very remote. No one appears to have any idea where the wreck lies, therefore so large a field would have to be dragged with grapnels that months' work ma? prove futile. The cost of a vessel like the Tutanekai when in commission amounts to something like £30 per day and tho Department does not consider a search should be. undertaken unless more definite instructions concerning the vicinity of the vessel are forthcoming.
