GISBORNE, this day
Professor .Morris, of Melbourne University, who is writing an Australian history ol' Captain Cook, paid a visit to Cook's Cove, at Tologa Hay, this morning. At a spring on Ihe hillside, overgrown with scrub, ll* ' found a substantial oaken cask, which it is thought might have been placed there by the early navigator. On the papa rock alongside another spring are cut certain letters, believed lo be the initials of members of the crew of Cook's vessel. NEW PLYMOUTH, this day. The annual report ol' the Chairman of the Harbour Hoard shows the total trade ol' the port was 40.40S tons, compared with :!t>.S2O in 1899. The revenue from dues and wharfage was £6,5110, against £6,091; on dredging £1,455; against £2,970. Despite tlie fact thai the latter item wtis the smallest since 139.), there is less sand than at any time since the breakwater was built. The report foreshadows the enlarging of the wharf.
