THE TE ARAROA WRECKAGE. WELLINGTON, March 6. Mr W. E. Goffe, Native Land Purchase Olncer, who has inspected the wreckage at Te Araroa, and that found near Gisborne, saya he is convinced that it is from the same vessel, evidently a three-masted ship. Welted copper and brass fittings found at Te Araroa support the fire theory. The condition of the articles indicates that they had not been in the water long. NAPIER, March 6. An oil case picked up on the Kaiti (Gisborne) Beach and branded ' C." bears the brand of a consignment of oil from San Francisco for Messrs Cranby and Co. The wreckage coming ashore at Gisborne may be from an oil vessel now overdue. Of 41 men who concentrated in Masterton on Wednesday, 28 were either fanners or engaged in farm work. KOLA-NlP—a temperance drink compound —is unique in its keen, nutty flavour. Can be given freely to children as well as adults. Ke-ep a bottle in the house for friends and visitors.
