FRUIT CASE FOUND NEAR THE SCENE.
TPee Press Association.! WELLINGTON, Sept. 3. The Marine Department has been advised that a settler picked up a piece of board, apparently the top of a fruit czxfrPp with Mokoia painted on it. It came ashore close to where the 25 lifebelts were found two or three days ago. The Mokoia left Auckland for Sydney on Monday night, and is due at that port to-night.
