THE HELEN B. STERLING.
AUCKLAND, January 15. The New Zealand Herald’s Suva correspondent states that the hull of the schooner Helen B. Sterling, which was alrandoned off Cape Maria van Diemen in January, 1922, has drifted on to the Middleton Reef, 300 miles east of the Clarence River. New South Wales. The captain of the steamer Suva reports that the derelict has been carried over the reef into the lagoon. It was his opinion that it would not require a very heavy sea to put the hull over the reef and set it adrift again to become a danger to shipping.
