OLD JACK
Sir,-Like "Nauticus," I was interested in your article "Coasting Around New Zealand," in which the ship Old Jack was mentioned. This name stirs up an old memory of school days, some 65 years ago, when a cmall keétch-rigged vessel named Old Jack arrived in Wellington from Port Underwood with a cargo of Sweet Russet apples in bulk. She was moored alongside the breastwork opposite W. and G. Turnbull’s warehouse. The apples were sold loose in any quantity, direct to the public from the little ship’s hold. Naturally a boy fond of apples would -Zgmember the incident. I wonder if this is the eset Jack mentioned in your article? —
