To the Editor ov the Nelson" Evening Mail. Sir—Having given so much space to the other part of my report of the late search party it is somewhat remarkable that the portion referring to the kindly sympathy and assistance afforded to us by a gentleman on board the Taranaki should have been care/idly kept out of print by you. Is it because that gentleman was Mr. Yogel, to whom you are politically opposed ? „ And is it for such a paltry

and the generosity he practised towards the search party should be purposely left out of my report ? I think that such kindly instances are sufficiently rare amongst our politicians (more renowned for selfishness than generosity) to require every acknowledgement when they do occur. In this instance it was not the value that was bestowed, but the considerate and feeling way in which it was performed, tbat makes us anxious to show that wo were not ungrateful. am, &c.,|l Morris Levy, 'Leader Search Party. [The demands on our space prevented our publishing Mr. Levy's report in its entirety, and consequently we omitted the first portion wherein was described the passage in the Taranaki from Nelson to the French Pass as being the most uninteresting. The " paltry reason " assigned for such omission is too contemptible to notice, and could only have suggested itself to the most paltry of minds.—Ed. N.E.M.~\
