Auckland, August 28. The Nora Niven’s trawling between Napier and Auckland appears to have been very satisfactory. Between Napier and Portland Island, in 82 fathoms, very good fish were found. Just north of the Table Cape results were not so good. Trawling was continued from a point of six miles West of Hast Cape till Saturday, with an average of about three trawls daily, the water ranging from too to 3-, latboms deep. The fishing was remarkably good, chiefly teribiki andschnapper being taken. The trawler leaves to-day for the Bay ot Plenty and Mercury Bay. Knox Church has extended a call to the Rev. Alex. Whyte, of Havelock, Hawke’s Bay. Wanganui, August 28.
