THE WRECK OF THE FEDERAL.
[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. —COPYRIGHT.]
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
Melbourne, March 27.
Mr M'Eachorn thinks that tho discovery of the varnished portion of the taffrail suggests the theory that the Federal collided with another vessel. Finding the gale so furious, he thinks that the captain may have attempted to run into a harbor of refuge and in the fog lost his course. M'Eachern would not be surprised to find the steamer ashore somewhere along the coast.
A steamer arrived from Newcastle reports that on Sunday night they saw a firo on the beach some 30 milos south of Gabo. It is suggested that if tho Federal was wrecked somo of the crew got ashore. Thero, are, however, some fishing stations in tho vicinity.
