THE CANASTOTA.
MAHENO FINDS NO TRACE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, July 5. The Maheno found no trace of the Canastota, though she went to the northward of her usual course in order to search. The officers held out no hope that the vessel was still afloat. A patch of discolored water, which was thought might be oil, was sighted, but close examination revealed no trace of naptha. It was believed to be due to masses of rain water lying on the top of the salt. On Saturday a violent gale from the north struck the vessel amidships, and she shipped many seas, everything having to be battened down. At midnight a huge sea came aboard broadside on and smashed the teak railing on the navigation bridge, forty feet above the water level, bending the iron stanchion. The gale moderated on Sunday.
