HATCH COVERS FOUND AT PORANGAHAU
NO LINK WITH ANY VESSEL (United Press Association.) Wellington, June 12. An inspection of the timber and hatch covers cast up on the east coast near Porangahau was made by Captain W. Stuart, of the Marine Department, todav, but nothing was found which links them to any particular vessel. He found that the timbers were old, and had either been adrift for some time, or were not cast up recently. Official inquiries leave no room for doubt that signals of some sort were made on the night they were seen, but the origin of them and the five hatch cover sections cannot be traced.
