Dr Nishikawa, the Japanese savant who has been sent to New Zealand to obtain information concerning our resources, was very much interested in the trawling operations which were carried out for Ills enlightenment in Napier harbour a few days ago. The trawl used is of different construction from any employed by the Japanese. A fair haul of fish was made. In view of the possibility o-f opening up a trade in frozen meat between New Zealand and his own country. Dr Nishikawa is inspecting various freezing establishments, and is being supplied with data concerning the industry. With reference to the relief ship which is to act as tender to the Discovery, Sir Clements Markham writes as follows to the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia:—"! bought a ship in Norway thus early because it was necessary to secure the most suitable ship at once, as others wanted her. including the Russian Government. She is a very strong ship of oak and grewheart, 450 tons. The cost was £3BOO. I have succeeded in collecting £9OOO, with the greatest possible difficulty, but. unless we can get £BOOO or £IO,OOO more, it will not be possible to fit out and despatch the relief ship. Her name is the Morning."
