MESSAGE FROM THE SEA.
ITS AUTHENTICITY TO BE TESTED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Regarding the message from one of the crew of the ill-fated dredge Manchester, which was found in a bottle picked up on the beach at Te Kopuru, near Kaipara, on Sunday, the actingchairman of the Lyttelton Harbor Board (Mr. R. Moore) made a suggestion this morning which is of some importance. The authenticity of "messages from the sea" is usually a matter of some doubt, and in the present case there is, according to Mr. Moore, a means of testing the genuineness of the message found on Sunday. The Lyttel- : ton Harbor Board possesses the signature of G. Lambert, who is supposed to have signed the message. Mr! Moore suggested that if the message were forwarded to the Harbor Board authorities they would be able to compare the signatures and set at rest any doubts on the matter. According to the Board's records, G. Lambert was a trimmer on board the dredge, was 21 years of age, and single.
