H.M. CONVOY SLOOP LEITH.-One of two sloops added to the Royal New Zealand naval squadron the Leith, which was built at Devonport, England, and launched in September, 1934, arrived at Gisborne this morning. She and her sister ship, the Wellington, named after the New Zealand seat of Government, represent the latest British development in convoy ships, which have loomed so largely in the discussions of naval strengths. The Leith is berthed at the Kaiti basin, and will remain in port here until Tuesday next.
