(Prom oar own Correspondent.) This day. The Mysterious Barque at Whangape.
The report about the barque at Whangape on the 10th must be a hoax. No vessel could approach Whangape for three weeks past. There is no anchorage outside the entrance, and no barque ever entered that hwbor, or probably will. The whole story is utterly absurd.

We published the facts on the authority of Captain Farqubar, of the lona, who fully believed the yarn himself^ They Herald, in publishing the same version as ourselves, refers to Mr Kelly (the native interpreter at Hokianga) and Mr McClelland as having been eye-witnesses of the mys- fi terious stranger's visit.
