The Tutanekai arrived back in Wellington last week after a fruit'ess though extensive quest for any uncharted rocks which, has been suggested as the cause of the mishap to the Northumberland. An exchange says that the Tutanekai operated for five da vs of eight hours each over an area, of two square miles between the Aerial reefs to seaward, and Ruahine Point and Patapouri Point on the mainland. A bar of iron 40 feet, in : ength was slung under the Tutanekai athwart, ship and lowered to 38 feet below the surface and dragged along continuously. The vessel’s anchor was also lowered to 50 feet below the 1 'surface and kept there. In addition! Captain BoPons used to dredge along the bottom, and at frequent intervals casts were made with a grab lead. There was a. two-knot drift during the five days the Tutanekai was searching for the supposed obstacle. Captain: Rollons found a level bottom of liquid papa mud ranging from 30 fathoms to 34 fathoms to ,seaward, with two patches of 27 fathoms with small papa stones on the bottom. As the Tutanekai had to attend to her lighthouse duties, she sailed on Friday for thb South Island. The quest for an obstacle on the East Coast may be resumed in a few weeks’ time bv the Tutanekai. A sure and pleasant specific for removing worms is Wade’s Worm Figs. Wonderful worm worriers. —1
