CRUISE OF THE AMOKURA.
. USEFUL WORK AHEAD. '\ [BY telegraph.—own CORRESPONDENT.] a Wellington, Thursday. A seven-weeks' cruise is in store for the 60 odd lads of the Government training-} ship Amokura, which left yesterday afternoon for Timaru and tho Bluff, en route to the outlying islands of New Zealand. Doubtless sufficient varieties of wind and wave will be encountered to give the young sailors a good idea, of sea life generally, and the- cruise should be a valuable experience for them. •• Search - will be made on the outlying groups for wreckage or castaways, and provision stores will be replenished where necessary." On return to the Bluff, the trainingship will go to Dusky Sound, and endeavour .to locate the rock where the Waikare came to, &riefc. —
