Elsie, sailed last evening for Bruce Bay with general cargo. The vessel is expected to return to Hokitika about Thursday with 200 fat sheep on behalf of Messrs J. Condon and C. Bush. Mr R. Wild, local representative on the Canterbury Education Board, left yesterday morning to attend the monthly meeting of that body in Christchurch.
