THE KERMADEC ISLANDS.
[PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.]
DUNEDIN, August 19. Sir Julius Vogel has received the following telegram from Captain Fairchild, dated Kermadecs, August 16th :—" I send you this from Sunday Island, by the steamer Richmond. We found the Richmond here cutting firewood, as she was out of coal. We gave her what coal we could spare. We were not able to land at Curtis Island. We are now at work at Sunday Island, and hope to land on the small islands when the weather moderates. Curtis Island is just like White Island—it is an active volcano. We lay at anchor under it all night. Think we may be expected back about 27th or 28th."
