WRECKAGE OF MANUKA
CARRIED UP THE COAST
(By Telegraph—Press Association)
OAMARU, January 19
Last Thursday morning wreckage from the Manuka was picked up near the breakwater at Oamaru. It comprised a cabin door and pieces of cabin woodwork.
Yesterday a heavy sea oast further wreckage ashore between Cape Wanbrow and Sandy Beach, comprising empty crates, heavy baulks of timber cedar panelling and a quantity of odd lengths of wood. Souvenir hunters were busy and secured momentoes ill the shape of electric fittings, binges, etc., while one youth secured a pencil, which was wedged into a plank. The strength of the current along the coast is shown by the fact that wreckage has travelled as far as the Waitaki River mouth, a distance of 150 miles from Long Point. The wood is encrusted with barnacles and marine growth.
