WRECKED MANUKA
CARGO COMING ASHORE AGAIN
BUSH "PLANTS" RAIDED
(By Telegraph—Press Association)
DUNEDIN, This Day.
Within the last day or two more of the wrecked .Manuka's contents have been washed up on the beach, leading to the opinion that another hold has burst. A roll of carpet was about the best of the findings at a recent combing of the beach. Nothing of the vessel is now visible except perhaps at very low tide. It is a common joke in the district that some of the beachcombers who hastily planted their spoils in the bush have involuntarily re-enacted the role of Old Mother Hubbard, of 'whom it is written that "when she got there the cupboard was bare." In other words the plants were "sprung" by other persons who found it easier to search the bush than to hunt about the beaches.
