COASTAL SURVEY
PROGRESS OF THE WORK
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, September 23,
Having spent more than three months in the Hauraki Gulf beginning her task of surveying and charting part of the New Zealand coastline, the Admiralty survey ship Endeavour arrived at Auckland for coaling and reported that the first section of her work in Tamaki Strait is almost completed.
The first section of the Endeavour's task is the surveying and charting of the marine approaches to Auckland that have not been adequately covered by harbour board surveys. In the course of the work that has been done by Captain Wyatt and his officers the need for a complete marine survey of the New Zealand coastline has already been amply demonstrated. Uncharted rocks and shoals have been found, areas never before charted have been thoroughly covered, and changes have been made in existing maps of the coastline.
