FIRE AT SEA.
FAR NORTH REPORT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. The Secretary for Marine reports that he received advice from the secretary of the General Post Office to the effect that the Awanui wireless station had reported signs of a vessel being on fire south-west of Ahipara, in the vicinity of the 90-mile beach, towards Cape Maria Van Diemen. They clearly saw dense volumes of smoke. On receipt of that advice, .telegraphic instructions were sent to Whaugape to dispatch a tug immediately. Last night a telegram was received saying the vessel was a considerable distance north of Ahipara, and not south-west, as previously reported, that she appeared to be inshore, and that a party had gone out by motor from Tepaki to investigate. A later mesuge stated that, the party had returned from the Heads, but had seen nothing of the reported vessel.
