OFF CASTLEPOINT. Captain J. Uren, of tho Fed«ral-Shiro Lino's steamer Surrey reported to tho Marine Department on his arrival from Auckland yesterday that he had passed what appeared to be a sailing vessel, water-logged, with fifteen feet of mast showing out of water. There was also a white yard floating near tho mast. The derelict was sigMod at 3.45 p.m. on October 28 (Monday), and it was 12 miles off tastlepouit. Captain Uren stated that tho wreckage was right in the track of shipping, and moro particularly of vesselsof larger tonnage. When various shipping people wore asked for opinions regarding the wreckage yesterday, only one was forthcoming. i.hero aro no sailing vessels bound directly for Wellington, but one of tho mauv which are no doubt in tho .vicinity of Cook Strait is tho barquo Thora, which left Newcastle on October 1G for Gisborne, and is consequently 14 days out. Tho suggestion put forward yesterday was that tho wreckage was from tho barquentino Wanganui, which was dismasted in Cook Strait recently and towed into Wellington.
