WHERE "THE WARRIGAL" IS GOING.

The catamaran has been built atNgaruswahia, 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 be pretty far in a craft of nuch light draught —and leaving the boat there lie will then cross the ranges on foot, and visit ths least known portions of the West Coast, After seeing all there is to see In ths Waipa Country he will Hail down the Wslkato, and cruise round Rangiriri and other Lakes, visiting places made famous and interesting to New .Zealanders for all time by the Maori War. Sailing to the Waikato Heads "The VVahrigal" will next follow up the Awaroa Creek, and then take the boat to pieces, and have it conveyed overland to Waiuku, on the Manukau Harbour, on which he proposes to cruise for a time, having full confidence In the sea-going capacities of his stran&S craft. He will then cross Ihe Isthmus to the Tamaki River, and sail for the Thames, whose Goldfields he will inspect ana describe in the columus of the Weekly 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 forward to with confidence by those who desire to read and send to friends at • distance a vigorous yet discriminating account of the present aspect of New Zea> land's Wonderland.
