Captain Hooper, of the training ship Amokura, which is now at the JMilff. states that on the recent run to the Chatham Islands he met with n succession of north-easterly gales, and on two occasions was forced to he a veto. One of those “heaves” extended over twenty-four hours. He admits that it was a trying time. He did not complain of having been 'kept all the time on deck,, exposed to merciless weather. What he does complain of is that the more venturesome of his lads would 1 keep climbing masthigh “on the lee side,” and then making short cuts to the deck. Other opportunities for doing their work on the most approved break-neck .principle were numerous, so that, altogether, the officers spent an anxious time. When the gale abated, and they were able to go on their way again Captain Hooper rejoiced in the fact that he had not left one or more of his proteges behind.
