THE BETTY G.
IN AYHANGARET HARBOUR
The belief Hint the ‘lO-foot fishing launch, Betty 0 (A.K. 2102) had gone astray since its departure from Auckland several days ago, has been proved unfounded by the fact that the craft has been in Whangavci for the past two days, with all on board rpiite well. The party’s intended movements, however, were never carried out, owing to the weather being unsuitable for fisli-
The Betty (1, with Messrs Bruce and Thomas Gibb, the owners, of Hamilton, and Mr. .John IT. Smith, of Otorohanga, on bool'd, left Auckland on April 3 and spent the first night in Urquhart’s Bay. Next morning Russell was headed for, and, after a two-days’ stay, a course was set for Whangaroa, whence they made for the Gavalli Islands, where they spent another few days. On the 10th the party went to Russell, where they stayed for six days. They then left for Whangarei on the 16th. Monday and Tuesday were put in at Urquhart’s Bay and One Tree Point respectively, and on Wednesday the party moored at the town wharf. Immediately after arrival, adjustments to' the propeller were effected and the fuel supply replenished. Shortly after lunch to-day, the Betty G left for Mokohinau and other fishing grounds, to commence activities. It is hoped to be in Auckland again about Hondav.
