SUNDAY ISLAND SETTLERS.
CHARTER OF YACHT TEDDY. NEGOTIATIONS FAIL. Unless some arrangement is arrived at in the next two days there is little possibility that the yacht Teddy will be chartered to take a small party to Sunday Island, stated the master of the craft, Captain Erling Tam'os, this morning. He said he had been approached by a person representing four others, all of whom wished to settle on the island, and asked to make the trip, but nothing had como of the discussion. The yacht is being overhauled on the slips at Devonport, and will be ready for sea in a month or six weeks. Captain Tambs intends to make one or two week-end trips, and then to go to the Islands. He will remain there four weeks, after which he will make a leisurely return to Auckland, to be ready to take part in a second trans-Tasman race in January. He said the first race had evidently done more than merely stimulate a passing interest, for he understood that at least one man was building a small schooner for the express purpose of trying to win the cup. After the sailing of the ocean race Captain Tambs' plans are somewhat indefinite.
