BOAT HIRING TO CHILDREN
To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sin, —I deny the statement made in last night's issue, viz.: " That the boy who pulled the boat back went off to her for the purpose-" He was one of those who went out with her; no one got into the boat from the time she left the beach until she returned.
You say you had the whole of the party in your office, if so, you had in one of them, a Cadet qualified and allowed by the officer in charge to have a riile and ammunition. If the chargo is to be shifted again, as it has been from " swirnning offto save those from imminent death to that of getting into the boat from a rock to pull her back." I cannot be expected to answer the charges so made. This I will do, however, submit to any examination "before any respectable persons, and if the men, Eyre, Evans, aud Thorougood, prove the charges made against me, I will give £5 to one of the Auckland charities. I am, &c, J, W. Caee. January 17th, 1872.
