WEST COAST SOUNDS.
EXCURSION' TRIPS. By Telegraph—Prc=r, Association. Wellington, July 3. Since the loss of the Waikare in Dusky Sound in Janusrv. 1010, there has been a g-ood deal of discussion at times concerning the lack of means to make the excursion to the West Coait sounds. The Tourist Department has been negotiating with the Union Coy, as a result, it is understood that ,a Red Funnel steamer, probably the I Arahura, will be sent to the Sounds in the coming season. The idea is to despatch the vessel once a month during I December. January, and February from Wellington, calling at Picton, Nelson, Wesport, and Ocymouth. Passengers I will be landed at the Sounds, and will then walk over the hills to the Lakes, tourists from overland joining the vessel and coming up the coast. This will obviate the steamer being delayed tr> cruiße about tin- Sounds, and enable her to make monthly trips.
