Captain Worsp, the inspector to the Underwriters' Association, has drawn the attention of his principals to the dangers encountered by vessels trading to the port of Gisborne caused by the shallowness of the water over the bar and the rooks inside, upon which the Pretty Jane and other vessels have come to grief. The following is the memo., which speaks for itself :— " Gisborne is a very risky port for vessels drawing over G feet, and I would recommend great caution in accepting risks for that place. From information I have received, it is quite possible, with a little expense, to improve the ent»cc to it, and would suggest that the Government be request! d to take steps in the matter. Until improved in some way, vessels should not be allowed to cross the bar, but should anchor and discharge inte steam launches or lighters (cutters) as at other ports."
