The careless navigation of the harbour by many small craft was brought under the notice of the Auckland Harbour Board by Capt. W. Stevens, of the s_s. Wanaka, to-day. In his opinion a police patrol boat for night duty would be very beneficial to all who had to work the harbour either day or night, as it was quite a common thing to pass small craft with no lights cruising up and down the harbour. He had spoken to both the harbourmaster and the shipping about the practice, but they both said that they could do nothing unless given the names of the vessels. When entering Auckland Harbour at 1 a.m. on the loth inst. he passed two -scows going the same way as himself, and neither showed a stern iight. He was nearly on top of one before seeing the sails, and supposed that, had he collided with the scow, all the crew would have sworn that they were exhibiting a stern light.
