The Wallace sails for Wanganui at 3 p.m. to-morrow. It will be remembered (says the Waipawa Mail) that in August, 1877, the rail of a ▼easel, with the name " Antaiogasta " upon it, was picked up near Cape Farewell. It was feared at the time that the ship had been lost, with all hands on board. However, such was fortunately not the case. By the last mail, Mr John Harding, of Mount Vernon, received a letter from his son, who is- now at Antaf ogasta. He saw the captain of the vessel, who explained that the rail was lost in latitude 4220 S., longitude 13740 E., in October, 1875, during his first voyage to Eogland. The boarJ was found 1650 miles from the spot where it was lost. To bave reached Cape Farewell it must have gone south to have cleared Tasmania, and then floated north again. This is important to mariners as showing the Bet of the currents in this quarter of the globe.
