WRONGLY CHARTED.
[by telegraph.— correspondent.] "Wellington, Saturday. A glaring inaccuracy in the mapping of the New Zealand coast near Cape Kidnappers was recently reported by one of the Union Company's captains. The matter has been investigated since by Captain Bollons, of the Hinemoa, and Captain David of the Corinthic. Both agree that the coast in this particular part has been wrongly charted. They find the distance between Cape Kidnappers and Bare Island to be Hi miles, instead of 13 miles, as is shown on the Admiralty chart.
