THE WRECK OF THE ZULEIKA.
+ [Per Press Association. I WELLINGTON, April 22. The Tutanekai left for Palliser Bay with coffins in which to place the victims of the Zuleika wreck. The Eev H. E. Tuckey was a passenger, having consented to go and read the funeral service. Mr Morley, from the firm of Briscoe, Macneil and Co., and Mr Carter, of H.M. Customs, also went away in her, for the purpose of arranging for the recovery of some of the cargo. Mr Eraia, the Maori who owns land in the vicinity of the wreck, has given sufficient ground for the burial of the dead, and has undertaken to erect a tombstone if one is sent down. The steamer Tutanckai took the coffins to the scene of the wreck of the Zuleika to-day, and eight of the victims were buried in one grave. The ninth body, that of Alexander M'Kay, will be forwarded to Port Chalmers.
