PI!ASKS OF TIIK .MOON JANUARY, 1929.

HIGH WATKR--JAXi AK Y, 1929

The motor ship “Zingara,” which left here last Monday afternoon for Wellington, arrived in the roadstead on Saturday night and berthed yesterday morning at 0 o’clock, making the round trip in about 5L days, which probably constitutes a record between Hokitika and Wellington. During that time she had to land the equivalent in timber and cargo of 300 tons, so tluit the run must be considered a very good one. The vessel commenced working this morning at 4 o’clock, and is expected to sail for Wellington again at 9 o’clock to-morrow morning. She is scheduled to leave Wellington for Hokitika at 4 o’clock on Friday afternoon, and will afford shippers a good opportunity of getting their supplies direct. Captain Burton is still actingmaster.
