THE MISSING BARQUE ASSAYE.

(Br Tblbqbaph.) WELLINGTON, Oot. 17. Government do not sot intend to tend a special steamer to search for the survivors of tho Aseaye, as the Hinemoa is now m the vicinity with orders to look out for castaways. It is feared that if she struck on the Snares there is no possibility of surrirori as there is only one landing place. Turnbull and Co. bad fifty cases of spirits on board numbered 61 to 100 and marked as described. None of the other brands mentioned are exactly like but they correspond closely to goods consigned to Welliagton Arms. Later. There is little evidence from tbe cargo picked up at the Chatham Islands to identify it, with that on board tbe missing barque Aisaye. According to the manifest which is held here, it is thought possible that one case apariod " I " m a " diamond " may be ono

:e case of a consignment of brandy for W. and (}. Turnbull and Co. the loaal agents of the vessel, but from enquiries from the various departments of the Government service, which are known to have goods on board, none of the marks shown on their invoices correspond with thote mentioned m the tele--4 gram.
