The e.s. Wullabi arrived at 5 p.m. Inst evening, and steamed into the Lagoon. She brings a, cargo of cattle nml sheep from Wanganui. Alfred Fiowers, mate of t'lo ke*ch"Mary, from Anatori river, has reported to tile ILrbor Master, Captain Leech, that about six weeks ago, he saw oiF Wanganui Inlet, drifting northward, a water logged brig, apparently abandoned, no person being visible on board ; main tri-sail and jib only set, both mists standing, part, of bulwarks washed away, and sec sweeping level with the deck. The sea was quite smooth at the time, but having no boat, Flowers was imablo to put off to her. A south-west, galo sot in shortly after, and the brig would in all probability drift through Cooks Straits, and may ultimately be found ashore near the Manawatu 'or Wanganui rivors. The same vessel was seen previously by several parties on the Anatori river, 20 miles south of Wanganui Inlet. From the description of tho brig, and the time, it is within the bounds of probability that she. was the missing Magnet.
