Maxwell and Co.’s schooners, which visited the Island, recently took to Papeete theshlps hell from the wrecked haniue. No sign ef the crew of the latter was seen. tt was supposed that the Dalgonar went ashore about live months ago, and that she had been abandoned before stranding. Some of the wreckage was charred, as if by lire. The fact that the Dalgonar appears in Lloyd's Register for 1913-11. hut that her name is not given In the 1911-15 edition would indicate that the wreck is a comparatively old one.
