GISBORNE HARBOUR SCHEME. CAPTAIN'S CRITICISM. Nautical opinions so far taken with regard to the accessibility and probable success of the new harbour for Gisborne, designed by Mr. Holmes. Engineer-in-Chief of the Marine Department, have, with one exception, been entirely favourable, states an exchange. The exception is Captain Entwistle, of the Victoria, who roundly condemns the scheme. The dredging . that would bo required, he Etates, would cost an enormous sum. He considers that no boat of any size would bo able to get in, nor would the captains think of approaching the entrance with a southerly swell on. It would be a thousand times better to put up with things as they were, as, on the whole, the steamers in the roadstead got as quick dispatch as anywhere, than for the people of Gisborne to havo on their hands- p, harbour costing thousands of pounds which would bo obsolete and a failure. The best thing Gisborne could do was to divert attention to its river, where he considered, by dredging and widening tha entrance, a splendid river harbour could be made.
