The Supposed Wreck.
NO SIGNS OF CASTAWAYS OB WRECKAGE. [Per Press Association] . Wellington, August 12. The Marine Department have received the following telegram from Captain Fairchild of the Hinemoa, who has returned to the Bluff, after searching in the neighborhood of Foveaux Strait, for traces of the missing barque Marie Ange :—“ Arrived at 7 a.m. Searched Red Head, Preservation and Chalky Inlets, Solanders, and Stewarts Islands. Found no sign of wreckage or castaways anywhere. Landed upon and examined Red Head, fired guns, and blew whistle in likely places. Quite certain there has been no fire lit on Red Head, or people there recently, or upon any other head near it. The Puysegur Point light-keeper saw the Ringarooma passing, but have seen nothing of any signal fires, wreckage, or castaways.”
