As they left the inn three Belgian boys, who were seated in a corner, asked the lady’ bar-tender who were those strange fellows who .had just departed. “Why, don’t you know?” she replied. “Those"arc New Zealand tanks in action! ”

At a meeting of the Hokitika Shipping Company’s directors yesterday, Mr G. A. Wood brought up the question of working the Big Wanganui and Wataroa rivers with the s.s. Paeroa as a good deal of trade would offer from those points. After discussion it was resolved on the motion of Mr J. J. Mclntosh to send the steamer down to the mouth of the Wanganui river on some suitable occasion, and take soundings with a surf boat. It was stated there was a good landing place inside the river. Should the preliminary enquiries prove satisfactory with regard to the river, the Government will then be. approached regarding a landing stage, and road or tramway access from the end of Wanganui Flat Road .
