BASQUE OVERDUE
TWENTY-SEVEN DAYS OUT FROM SYDNEY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, April 27. (Received April 27, at 10.5 p.m.) Fears are felt for the safety of the barque Manurewa, which is 27 days out from Sydney to Clarence River, en route to New Zealand. Although the vessel is equipped with wireless, which Was overhauled before sailing, no word of her has been received since her departure. The theory is advanced that as there was a strong southerly gale the day after she left her aerials may have carried away and the vessel may have been blown far out of her course, and then become becalmed. The Manurewa was in ballast, but she had sufficient provisions to last the return trip to New Zealand. She also had plenty of water.
