ENDEAVOUR DEPARTS
RECALL TO.ENGLAND
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. After two years on the New Zealand station, during which important work was carried out along the coast of the North Island from Mercury Bay to the Bay of Island-, the Admiralty survey ship Endeavour, with .the paying-off pendant flying, left at 11 a.m. on her return to England. When fhe Endeavour arrived two years ago it was announced that she would be here for ten years. Her recall is somewhat unexpected, but it has been.announced that a more modern ship will be sent to New Zealand to carry on the work.
.The number of errors detected in the existing charts of the coasts as the result .of the Endeavour's researches have emphasised the need, for a fresh survey of the entire coastline of the Dominion.
