The following has been reported at the Custom House, Auckland “On March 4, as the masters of the schooner Helena and cutter Wanderer were on the beach at Blind Bay, Great Barrier, they saw a raft being flouted in by the action of the tide, and secured it as soon as it arrived at the beach. The raft is constructed out of a ship’s grating, of hickory w -od. and is ab nt four feet square. It has a mast in the centre, and a flag (F of the Commercial cbde of signals) cm* top. witli a piece of iron attached to keep it upright. The mast is made fast to the sides of the grating with stays of rop'.v A quantity of candle grease is on the grating, and some writing in chalk, which could not be made out owing to the action of the weather.” The questions naturally arise, “Where did this raft come from, and was it occupied by a human being? Has there been a vessel wrecked, and some one escaped by the aid of this raft, or lias some one been sent adrift from a vessel on it, and left to the mercy of the ocean ? The fact of candle grease being found on the raft favors the idea that whoever occupied, it had candles, and used them as a signal by night. The raft is to be brought to town next week, when something mav possibly he learned to identify it.
