The bat used by C. C. Dacre in scoring 107 against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord’s for the New Zealand eleven of 1927 has been mounted in silver and will shortly be available for display at the Devonport School. Mr J. Hislop, who has secured the mounting, presented the bat to tlie school, which Dacre attended. The bat bears the names of the players engaged in the match. Long absences from home are the lot of the sailor and protracted voyages often entail disadvantages and sacrifices which the citizen on land does not have to face. An example of this is afforded by the experience of the second officer of the Norwegian vessel Penybryn recently at Auckland. He has not yet seen his two-year-old child, born after he left Norway to join the Penybryn.
