SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF THE HULL. [Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, Fob. 20. This morning Captain N. E. Bower, of the New Zealand Shipping Company’s Turakina, reported to Captain Marciel, shipping master at Lvtfo’toti, that at about 10.30 o’clock last irgbt (Friday) the steamer passed a iu-g> and partly submerged object, wwii the sea breaking over and around it. The object was about 25 miles off the eastern end of Kaikoura Peninsula, which was bearing south 5G deg. W. correct magnetic. Masters of vessels bound in. that direction are warned of the object, which constitute:; a danger to navigation. Captain Marciel, immediately on receipt of the information, wired to the Secretary for Marine, advising him of thp report. It is worthy of note that a similar object was passed by the barquentine Mary Isabel on the 10th inst., a few miles to the southward of Kaikmiru Peninsula, and about 10 miles off shore. It is considered by sbipp:ng people that the Marine Department should at once send out a steamer to make a search for the submerged obstacle, -which is thought by many to ~
be the capsized hull of the missing Rio Logo.
