THE MISSING SCOW.
A SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY. [BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN' correspondent.] TAURANGA. Tuesday. A native of Motiti Island, named Rakatau August, was in Tiiuran ;a to-day. He states that he formed on* of a party of Maoris who were engaged on Sunday last in fishing about a mile northward of Motiti Island. The part caught about two dozen schnapper, and every one of the fish contained maize varying in quantity from about two dozen to fiftv grains The opinion is offered that the maize consumed by the fish may be from the missing scow Kahu, which was loaded with the grain. Some of this may have been washed overboard or jettisoned. Practically no grain was lost during the loading of the Kahu at Motiti, nor oo the Maoris know of any being dumped or lost off the beach.
