SOUTHERN ISLANDS.
.—* TRIP BY TUTANEKAT. SUPPLY FOR THE ZOO. (BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, Aug. 18. The Tutsmekai which lias returned from her trip to the outlying southern islands, brought four sea lions and a sea leopard. They were caught in a net and fought strongly so that some trouble was required, to get them aboard. For a fortnight they sulked and refused to eat, but are now tame. Some of the animals are for the Auckland zoo. The Tutanekai had fine weather generally, and saw no signs of castaways, while the provisions at depots were intact.
