A correspondent writes:—"ln the great old buccaneering days, the notorious Jacky Price achieved a similar exploit. For his evil deeds he was doported to tho Solanders, and loft thore with his Maori wife and dog. Jacky, who is known to have been a perfect daredevil, constructed tho framework of a hoat out of stuntod. growths found on the island. Covoring them with sealskins, he and his companions sot sail from the Bolanders, and reached tho old quarters at Preces harbour, wost of tho'Waiau. Whatever marvel attaches to'the Disappointment Island feat is more than matchcd by Jacky l'rice'3 adventure."
