Mr AV. C. Wright, of Onehunga, who purchased the ill-fated Karu and her cargo as a sporting speculation for £2O, has made a visit to the wreck in order to estimate the prospects of salvage. He reports that the vessel is now a battered wreck and in slow process of disintegration. The pounding of the heavy seas has stripped her deck cargo of timber and removed the funnel and bridge. A part of tho bulwarks lias gone, and although two masts are still standing aft one is shaky and liable to go at any moment over the side. Tilted at a rakish angle, the vessel's bows are clear of water, and the tattered jib is all that remains of the sail that was set by the crew before they abandoned her. All the deck cargo of timber had gone, but although the hatches had disappeared the timber cargo below was intact. “I bought the Karu on the strength of a photograph that I saw of her,” said Mr Wright, “and if the weather remains calm I think that the prospects of salvaging the timber are quite good.” He added that he had interested others in his venture and they were now endeavouring to charter a small steamer and several barges and were hopeful of being able during fine weather to unload the timber out of the holds.

The curious habit so common in America of popping an unlighted cigar in tho mouth and chewing an inch or two of it to pulp, is not popular with us, although tho chewing of black plug tobacco is common cough amongst sailors everywhere. However, with tho rank and file of Englishmen, “tho pipe’s the thing,” and a source of enjoyment, daily, to millions. But discrimination should bo exercised in the choice of tobacco. Brands full of nicotine (as the American tobaccos usually arc), ought to be cut out, because nicotine is tho source of all the mischief when tobacco proves injurious. Our New Zealand grown tobaccos are about the purest going and contain only a trifling percentage of nicotine—a negligible quantity. That is why you can go on smoking them all the time with the utmost safety. They won’t do you any harm. And they are delightfully fragrant. You can get them ot any strength. Ask for "Riverhcad Gold,” mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium: or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullsliead), full strength.
