THE NATIVE COASTING TRADE
It has always been a matter of surprise to those who have have been in the habit of comparing the Annual Shipping Lists of vessels belonging to,or trading to, the port of Auckland, to observe the large amount of coasting craft, the property of native owners. These vessels constitute a goodly
and a valuable native fleet; and additions of an important character are constantly being made to increase their numbers, and to further the advancement of native industry by supplying a ready means of transport for the native produce which every year becomes more valuable and more important. The last addition to the fine fleet of native coasters is the Erin, an exceedingly handsome schooner of 58 tons register, which was recently purchased from W. S. Grahame Esq. by Te Hapuku, of Hawke's Bay, for the sum of £I2OO. Our native friends have a sharp eye for a smart craft. We hear of others for which overtures have been made. We heartily congratulate the spirited owners in the purchase they have already made, and wish them a long continuance of that prosperity to which their energy and: industry so fully and deservedly entitle them.
