TIMARU.
November 16
Capt. Bezar, of the brigantine Oceola, which arrived here yesterday from Newcastle, reports passing a quantity of wreckage west of Foveaux Strait. Amongst it was a lower-mast painted white, with what looked like a man lashed to it, but the weather was too bad to permit of the vessel heaving to. Capt. Bezar also states that when about six miles south of Timaru he felt a very severe shock, the sea beiug violently disturbed over a considerable space. A number of dead fish floated to the surface, and it appeared as if a submarine explosion had taken place.
