Rarotonga, March 1.

NO further news has yet come to hand Concerning the fate of the missing schooner “Tereora”, which left Tahiti on January 16, for Raiatea, and has not been seen again. This is the second schooner that Etablissements Donald Tahiti have lost during the year, the other being the old “Vaite”, which recently fell foul of a reef in the Tuamotus, There is a suspicion that the “Tereora’' was a victim of enemy action. All the surrounding reefs and islands have been thoroughly searched by Donalds’ new schooner “Vaitere”, without a trace being found.
