Within the last, day or two, roon of the wrecked Manuka’s contentshavt ‘been washed on the, beach, leading ft the opinion that another hold was j burst. A roll, of carpet was aboul ; the beat of the findings at, a recenl j combing of the beach. Nothing ol j the vessel is now visible, except perjhaps with a very low tide. | It is. a common joke in the district j that some beach-combers, who hastily j planted- their spoils in the bush, have ! involuntarily re-enacted' the role of j Old Mother Hubbard, of whom it is I written that “when. she got there, tip: j cupboard, was baye. ” In other, words, (plants were “sprung,” by' other per- ! sons, who, found; it easier to search j the bush, than to, hang about the j beaches.
