Charting Northern Coasts
[Special to “Northern Advocate ”] AUCKLAND, This Day. Over 2000 square miles of soundings and 250 miles of coastline hqve now jqgen charted within and outsicle of the Hauraki Gulf by the Admiralty survey ship Endeavour, which returned to Auckland on Saturday on a brief visit to the port.
The scene *of the next take is tfye long strip of sea and coast extending from the east coast of the Coromandel peninsula to a point north of Great Barrier Island, and thence westward to the mainland some distance south of Whangarei.
The Endeavour will leave port again on January 2 and will land a capip party at Whangarei to make a largescale chart of the harbour and its entrance. The ship itself will work up the coast, probably completing tt|o work as far as Cape Brett by the middle of June.
