TOP OF A MAST SEEN.

The Mercury (Hobart) Tuesday 26 September, 1911.

THE LOST YONGALA.

SUPPOSED TRACE OF THE

VESSEL.

TOWNSVILLE. September 25.

The captain of  the German Australian 

steamer Annanberge last week

reported to the harbourmaster that on

the trip up the coast in the neighbourhood 

of the Nares Rock, he saw something 

which resembled the top of a mast of a 

vessel a few feet along the water, but 

he was unable to say whether it was 

floating or stationary. Being anxious to 

catch the tide at Townsville, he did not 

investigate. This is regarded as possibly 

connected with the ill-fated steamer Yongala.

Not, as it turned out.
