THE TARARUA DISASTER.
Invercargill, June 22. The sea is still at intervals casting ashore bodies of those drowned in the Tararua. Constable Neeston, who is stationed at Waipapa reports that on the 12th he found the body of a man, almost naked, fingers and features gone, and no marks that could lead to identification. On the 16th the body of a woman was found on the beach, but although it has suffered more than the other, it is supposed to be that of the wife of Denz, one of the crew of the illfated ship, one of the breasts being considerably larger than the other, which is stated to have been the case with Mrs Denz.
