FobOcatians. THE WEEKLY PRE^ NOTICE TO READERS. NEW SERIES OF ARTICLES BY "THE WARRIGAL" The Proprietors of the WEEKLY PRESS Hare the pleasure to announce tin approaching publication of a New Series of TRAVELLING SKETCHBB, Entitled A CRUISE IN A GATAMARM, THE CRAFT. In this cruise " The Warbigal," whoa* originality is one of his most striata characteristics, will take a distinctljnew line. He has just built aud launched oa the Waipa River a boat of his own derfe me—more strictly a Catamaran. Rowing men and yachtsmen who wffl wish to have details of this craft will fl&4 them in the introductory chapter of tin cruise. It will be sufficient to mention here, for the benefit of the. general reader that the boat is not only a catamaraa,bau house boat, and that " The Warrigai" expecta to live in her for some time, yen much at his ease. She has remarkable sailing powers, and pulls easy, valoabk qualifications for a craft that has ton such a journey as has now to be indicated, WHERE "THE WARRIGAL" IS GOING, The catamaran has been built atNginuk wahia, and there launched and tested. From this beautiful spot its builder and owner will sail up the waipa as far as the river is navigable—and this should t» pretty far in a craft of Much light draoriit —and leaving the boat there he will then cross the ranges on foot, and vhit the least known portions of the West Coait After seeing all there is to see in the Waipa Country he will sail down the Wai. kato, and cruiee round Rangiriri and other Lakes, visiting places made famous and interesting to New Zealand ere fox all time by the Maori War. Sailing to the Waikato lieads "The Warrioai, ,, will next follow up the Awaroa Creek, and then take the boat to pieces, and ban it conveyed overland to Waiuku, oatlw Manukau Harbour, on which he propose to cruise for a time, haying full confidant* in the sea-going capacities of h!» strange craft. He will then cross iho lathuia* to the Tamaki River, and sail for the Thamei whose Goldflelds he will inspect Mα describe in the columns of the Wbbxit Press. Afterwards he will journey up the Ohinemuri River to Te Aroha, and from thence to the .Hot Lakes District, his description of which may, be looked forwatd to with confidence by those who desire to read' and send to friends at a distance a vigorous yet discriminating account of tho present' aspect of New Zealand* Wonderland. , ■ .• - i SOMETHING NEW. Ie -will be seen from the above brief outC line that both in tho means of loeomotioj , and in the scenes to be visited, " {Tie Warrigal's" present journey is somethwi new and distinct from anything yet attempted by the representative of v} colonial journal. A SOLITARY JOURNEY. "The Warrigal" will be without any companion in his exploit, and it iniut be admitted that the element of danger li not wanting in the prospect, and must add a great deal of interest to the cruise. The Waikato is a large and swift river, ittl has its fnll share of the snogs and rapid* of a North Island stream; the catamaran is but a frail contrivance. How* ever, "The Warrigal" built a boat like it, only smaller, once before, and sailed it greatly to hie own satisfaction, and he is perfectly confident of the naoem of his present venture. It may safely be said that "A Cruise in a Catamabak" will prove as popular as any stria* o< articles ever presented to the readers of tb* Weekly Press. It will deal with all that Is most worth seeing in the Auckland Province, with scenes at once beautiful inthettselves, and invested with the charm of striking associations,, and, as the colonial public is well aware, the versatile pen of "The Warrigal" is never employed to better purpose than in making hisreMM* follow him through the adventures'of such a journey, and share with him ti* many and varied pleasures.
