HATCH COYER, TABLE TOP
PARTS OF MISSING SHIPS FOUND (Received 2 p.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. A wooden hatch cover, washed ashore at Lake Tyers yesterday, was identified by four Chinese, of the crew of the Vincas, as having come from the Paringa, which broke away from the Vincas while being towed to Japan, and disappeared during a cyclonic storm off the Victorian coast last month.
A Rabaul message said that the first definite result from the search for the schooner Hermes, which was reported as missing in New Guinea waters in, November, was obtained when the steamer Friedriun returned to Rabaul with the top of a table, which had been found at Unea Island. The Administrator of New Guinea said there was no doubt that the table top was one which had been secured to the superstructure of the Hermes. « Not Undermanned, The Federal Assistant-Minister of Commerce, Senator Brennan, commenting on the allegation made by the secretary of the China Coast Officers’ Guild, Mr W. E. Kirby, at Hong Kong, two days ago that the lost steamer Paringa was insufficiently manned, states that all the requirements of the Commonwealth Navigation laws were complied with by the owners of the Paringa, which was not undermanned. The Paringa had carried a complement of four more than was necessary.
