As the Duco had a Jan;© mail and other goods which were urgently wanted at Waitangi, the chief port of the Chathams, I know it was tho Duco'e intention to call there first and then proceed to Pitt Island.* A tribute to tie ability of local marine engineers was paid by an aottwrrty on the Fnbject in conversation with a representative of the 'Post' on Friday.
