A SCHOONER MISSING.
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND August 17. The steamer Navua which arrived from the Islands yesterday brought news of a feared shipping catastrophe in the Tongoan group. The trading schooner Scharlotte, owned and sailed by Captain A. W. Gordon Mackay, formerly known as the Copra King left Tonga on July 12th for Niuafoon, a two days' journey, and has not been heard of since although she was three weeks at sea when the Navua visited the group. The Scharlotte had sixty natives on board for Niuafoon, and it is believed that all were lost, including the captain, as no tidings of either the boat or her living freight had been received up to the time the Navua left for Auckland, six days ago.
