Weak Link In Air Mail
t Special to “Northern Advocate.” J AUCKLAND, This Day. After taking only eight clays to complete the Ilight from Southampton to Sydney, mails carried on the new Empire route for Now Zealand will take another six to be carried over the last short gap. The mail was transferred to the Union Company's steamer Kairanga, which left for Auckland on Saturday night, and a normal passage across tHo Tasman will bring her to port on Friday. But for the presence of cargo shipping, the New Zealand letters would have had to wait a week at Sydney for the Wanganella and arrive here after being 20 days in transit.
