Harbour — The harbourmaster et Kaipara reports that the banks in the vicinity of toe lowe- black buoy in the *Five-fathom Channel, and also in the vicinity of the red-topped beacon abreast of Beacon l'oint, Wairoaßiver, have chani;cJ considerably; and he therefore recommends masters of vesse's, whilst in these localities, to make o nstant nse of the lead, and to give both the above-named buoy and beacon a wide birth in passing. — H. A. Atkin on. JLraft of highly vovel construction wjs the object- of considerable curiosity to peop.'e visiting the breikwater on Tu* day, and many were the conjee Tires a* to the purpose for which it was intended t» beutii'ed. On maki.ig inquiry we learnt that it had been pnt together by a sailor of t'je barque Gerd Heye, lying at the outer anchorage, to enable hlin to deseit from his vessel, and that he had early in Ihe morning got on shore by menns of it. It consists of a small ladder along which a plank had been pliced. Nearcachenda handspike had been securely fastened aero ir, and round the whole, long lifeboat floa's had been attached by being fashed to the projecting ends of the ladder and the handspikes. Frail as it looked, it really was not so in actual faot, but possessed no little strength and buoyancy, as may be believed, when we state that the sailor had net only brought himself safe y on shore on it, but a tub containing his clothes and other private belongings. On landing on the wharf he was noticed by the night-watchman, but m naged to get clear of the town,' and despite the efforts of the police, up to Tuesday evening bad i ot been captured. Captain Ledewis-s is offering a reward for information which will lead to his arrest. — Timoru Herald (PEB UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION). Auckland, November 29.
