THE PHANTOM WRECK.
STORY STILL UPHELD. Hy Telegraph.—rress Assodntion. Gisboroe, August 24. Mr. Graham, manager of the Rototahi station, confirms the statement of Messrs. McCrae and Williams as to his having, with his son, seen on Sunday morning, and again in the afternoon, a large steamer in distress. The fact that she was such a distance out to sea and so low in the water would probably account for the Arahura and Monowai passing without noticing anything. The watchers on the land, being at a height of about 1500 feet, were naturally able tp see a great distance further than from sea level. Mr. Graham said that the vessel was visible as long as daylight lasted.
, It is understood that the Kia Ora was not in the vicinity, but went to Ricks' Bay for shelter.
