How sincere was the regard and esteem in which Captain Carey, late of the steamer Wellington, was held by his officers and crew, may, says the Otago Daily Times, be inferred from the fact of a substantial sum of money having been subscribed by them to be expended at Dunedin in the purchase of a handsome silver tea and coffee service, for presentation to captain Carey at the earliest opportunity.

Everybody who has travelled along the East Coast of this island lias heard of Happy Jack, and of the light he keeps burning at his whare window to guide mariners to the shelter of Wangawehi. Mr C. A. Harris, of the Wangapoua SawMills, who is now visiting Napier, has taken steps to gladden the heart of old Happy Jack, by purchasing for him a new lamp, constructed to burn either kerosine, or common oil. In this action the New Zealand and South British Insurance Offices have assisted Mr Harris and a boon has thus been conferred on ship masters that will be duly appreciated hr all who have occasion to seek the Wangawehi haven. —Napier Telegraph.
