to the Ennon. _ Sir, —The manner in which tjie ferry is neglected at the Pakarae river midway between Gisborne and Tologa Bay is a source of much delay and inconvenience to travellers. About a fortnight or so ago a' European arrived on the opposite side of the river, and cooey’d for the ferryman, although it was a calm night and his voice could easily have been heard at the pa, (where the ferryman resides) there was no response, and consequently he had to sleep out in a flax bush. Again, no later than last Saturday, a gentleman who is frequently travelling on the coast arrived at the river about 10 a.m., and after waiting for the ferryman for about twohours had toturn back (although he had urgent business in Gisborne), and a wait till the next day. This ferry, I believe, is subsidised the Government yet there is no boat, a sort of a canoe, which is not safe for passengers. Perhaps when some valuable life has been lost the Government, may do something in the matter. The Pakarae is one of the most dangerous rivers on the Coast. — I am. &c., A Frequent TAiaveller.
