FATE OF THE MANUKA.
SCATTERING OF REMAINS.
REPORT BY A DIVER.
[by telegraph.—own correspondent.] DUXEDIN, Wednesday.
According to a diver who went down off Long Point, the remains of~the intercolonial steamer Manuka are now spread over nearly an acre of the pea bottom. The vessel has broken up, as she was caught on the rocks, and was thus exposed to the full force of the waves returning from the cliffs. It is reported that the diver found that sand was covering most of the heavy gear. The boilers were not to be seeu and the propeller was also hidden.
The remains of the Manuka are still oo the market sale.
