THE LATEST.
The Narrative of the Finding of the Raft.
Auckland. November 14.
The Union S.S. Company's steamer Omapere, which left Mongonui at midnight* last night for Auckland, after searching without success for the Elingamite's missing boat and raft, spoke H.M.S. Penguin off the Little Barrer at noon to-day on her run down. The warshp was shaping a course from the north-east for Auckland, and as soon as the two vessels were within signaling distance the Penguin signalled that she | had picked np the Elingamite's raft with sixteen men on it, and that eight of these were dead ; the boat was still missing. As the Omapere drew up to the Penguin these tidings were confirmed briefly by the officers of the warship, and the Omapere [continued on her course. Captain Crisp communicated the news shortly to the Tiritiri Lighthouse, whence it was conveyed to town by telephone. The Penguin, which is under steam and sail, should arrive in an hour or so.
