MISSING BAROUE.
PROPOSALS FOR SEARCH
By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. SYDNEY, May 29. Mr Aird, assistant lighthouse keeper at South Head, whose son is aboard tho Manurewa, has offered a substantial sum towards coaling a vessel t-o search Middleton Reef. It is understood tkat the Navy Department has been in communication with the New Zealand Government relative to a search. Now that wreckage is coming to light daily, the Sydney agents are in an unfortunate position, as they find it difficult to make a positive identification, they not being familiar with the Manurewa, which traded so long between Auckland and San Francisco that details of her are forgotten by them.
