MANUKA PICTURES
TWELVE FOUND. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Dec. 30. Murray Fuller who lost many valuable paintings in the wreck of- the Manuka has recovered twelve paintings, found by settlers. The two principal pictures found were valued at 400 guineas each, and were “Sussex Meadows” and “A Proyencale Forecourt,” in oil. Both arc by H. H. La Thangue, R.A. ■ Fuller is disappointed at not finding any of the most valuable works (except La Thangue’s), especially Sir AVillianl' Orpen’s “Soldiers Resting on Somme, 1918.” This was one of his most important war pictures painted “on the spot” in France. Sir George Clausen’s two important works have not been seen, nor have Arnesby Brown’s. There were iour of Brown’s landscapes on hoard the vessel. Arnesby Brown, R.A., is the most outstanding English landscape painter of the clay and these- works are a great Joss. Reports from Papatowai where Fuller was staying state that passengers suit cases and trunks arc being recovered, opened and the contents removed by unauthorised persons.
