AUCKLAND.
This day,
The search party have returned from their investigation of the wreck of the vessel between Kaiapara Heads and the Manukau, and there is now no doubt that the vessel is the schooner Kona, and that all hands perished. The board with the vessel's name on ifc has been brought to town and identified. The natives have burnt the vessel down to the copper, in order to hide the signs of pilfering, and to secure the copper. The wreck as it now lies is said not to be worth £10.
