THE MANUREWA
NAVAL SEARCH REFUSED. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) SYDNEY, May 10. (Received May 10, 7.20 p.m.) The agents for the Manurewa requested the Navy Department to send a search vessel. In declining the request, the Department advised the agents to charter a tug to search the coastal waters. So far no definite steps have been taken to make a search. Outgoing ships, including the survey ship Fanthom, en route to Torres Straits, have been instructed to keep a sharp look-out. The refusal of the Navy Department to search for the Manurewa has aroused indignation in shipping circles. Two hatches washed ashore at Cloudy Head and brought to Sydney for examination proved to be not from the missing vessel.
