THE SCHOONER MAILE.
(To the Editor)
Sir,—ln reference to your remarks about* tho missing schooner Maile, I left that un" fortunate vessel ab Launceebon, in conse" quenco of a letber tbat awaited me, to come to Auckland to join the s.s. Coromandel as providore. Ib is true, as you say, the articles had expired, and all hands could have left had they so wished, bub the expense of bringing them to Auckland caused thorn to stay ami bring the ship to Auckland. I should have lett there, as we were all dissatisfied with tho condition of tho vessel, which —up to the time that I lefb, at any rate—hud never bean surveyed since she was ashoro on the rocks. I had beon two voyages in tho Mailo, and loft with a good character, and feel keenly the loss of my shipmates.—l am, etc., Charles Nixon, S.s. Coromandel.
