Depots for the Shipwrecked
By Telegraph. —Press Association Wellington, Last Night.
The Marine Deparment has decided to add tea, sugar, tobacco, and pipes to the stores in the depots on the outlying islands. There are now ten depots, four being on the Auckland Islands, one each on Campbell, Bounty, Antipodes, and Three Kings, and two on the Kermadecs. In most of the depots 1200 pounds of biscuits are kept, in addition to which there is a good stock of warm clothing, blankets, guns, and ammunition, etc. H.M.S. Pegasus, which leaves Lyttelton tomorrow, will take store for the depot on the Antipodes to re-, place those used by the crew of the wrecked French ship President Felix Faure, while the Hinemoa will leave shortly with supplies for the other depots.
