THE NEW ZEALAND VESSELS.
AUCKLAND TO BE THE BASE.
Auckland, September 30. Auckland will be the base for the seven , vessels which are to be sjtationed in New Zealand waters. Sir J. G. Ward stated to-night that this had been decided upon, the geographical position of this port, and the fact that an up-to-date naval equipment has been installed at the Calliope Dock being, of course, responsible for this decision. These vessels, Sir Joseph stated, will be almost constantly in New Zealand waters, and young New Zealanders would have an opportunity of gaining a naval training on our own ships in much the same way that it was now given on the ships of the Australasian squadron.
