WRECKAGE MYSTERY
Wanganui, Last Night. The question whether it was the remains of the lost steamer Ripplfe has been raised in consequence of the sighting of wreckage by the steamer Volsella, when approaching Cape Palliser on the lucent voyage from Napier to Wanganui. The captain of the Volstella states that the wreckage was sighted when within a couple of hundred yards. It appeared to be the top of a mast with a wire jrope attached to it. The mast was stationary and evidently attached to a large submerged object. As the location was noted it seems probable the matter can be cleared up by investigation.
