In the report of the quarterly mooting of the Shipwreck Society of New Zealand it was shown that during the past quarter the sum of li.’ioO has been expended, with the possibility of another £3O being required. While the society is very pleased to bo able to render immediate relief in the case of shipwreck or other disasters at sea, the feeling was expressed that more support should bo accorded the society by citizens and firms outside Dunedin. The secretary reported that there were only twelve members of the society outside Dunedin, and as with very few exceptions, the funds of the society are expended in cities in the north, it is felt that firms in the north should at least subscribe to the society.
