NAVAL VOLUNTEERS
TO SEE GUN PRACTICE
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, April 13,
Twenty Royal Naval Volunteer Reservists, under Lieutenant Bristed, R.N.A .R., went aboard H.M.S. Dunedin, to-day for a week’s annual refresher course. The training will consist of gun drill, seamanship and general naval routine, which will be carried out under the command of the ship’s officers. H.M.S. Dunedin will stay in port until Thursday, when she will join H.M.S. Diomede in Palliser Bay for gun practice. The reservists will be taken in order to give them some experience of conditions of modern warfare at sea. After exercises in Palliser Bay, H.M.S. Dunedin will go on to Auckland. H.M.S. Diomede will come to Wellington and take a detachment of cadets, and on May 9 she will leave for Gisborne. Tokomaru Bay, and Auckland.
