THE GERMAN MINES
SEARCH OFF PAEKAKARIKI. . Last Friday it was reported that an object resembling a German mine had been seen floating in the 6ea off Paekakariki. A party headed by Major Andrews and Captain Cross made a _ thorough search of the coast in the Vicinity on Saturday and Sunday,' with the aid of a launch, but they did not find the mine or any trace of it. Possibly the observers were mistaken, or the mine may have sunk on its own account. The trawlers that are working off Cape Farewell found and exploded another mine last week. There appears to be some ground for believing that the mines laid by the German raider off the New Zealand coast are nearly all accounted for now, but the authorities have i.ot yet secured the definite information that it was hoped to obtain from Germany. Trawling operations are being conducted still in areas off Cape Farewell and North Cape.
