THE SUPPOSED WRECK
(Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, August 23. Captain Norton, of the Monowai, reports that he passed the spot of the reported wreck, off Tolaga Bay, between 1 and 2 pm. on Sunday, when the weather was clear. He saw no sign of a wreck or wreckage. At 2 p.m. he was only 2\ miles off shore and must have seen a wreck had there been one. The wind at the time was S.S.W., which would have driven at any rate scone wreckage out to sea into the track of the Monowai. He further pointed out that there wore no outlying dangers more than a mile from land at that particular spot. Ho said, the Kia Ora was forced to leave Tolaga Bay on Saturday owing to heavy weather, and he was of opinion the people on shorn must actually have seen the Kia Ora standing np and down the coast.
