“HARVEST OF THE SEA”
WRECKAGE FROM MANUKA Weird tales continue to reach Balclutlia of the “harvest of the sea’’ being gathered by certain enterprising residents of the bush from the wreck of the Manuka. From Papatowai to Tautuku the beach is strewn with cargo of all kinds, and the flotsam and jetsam incidental to all wrecks. Carts ami sledges have been worked overtime to get the stuff away, and caches are now said to abound in the bush. One van cached, it is said, no fewer than Hi large drums of oil. Only onions and lemons are left on the I beach when daylight dawns, and these are so plentiful as to be despised by the seekers of loot. The other side of the picture is shown by the Jinding of the sea chest of a young woman steerage passenger, evidently not long from the Homeland, This was-full of good clothes, and in addition a large sum of money, all of which was duly delivered to the proper authorities at Owaka.
