The Auckland portion of tho vessel's cargo is distributed throughout the ship, and, until the details come to hand of the locality of the fire and of the holds affected by water and smoke, it will be impossible to say which consignors are concerned in the losses. .' -The dairy produce shipments, amounting to 65,000 boxes of butter and !)000----crates of cheese, are covered by an in-' surance policy taken out in the name of the Dairy Produce Board. This policy covers the butter and cheese from the factory to London against all risks.
