The party left W*ihi for the beach on Saturday night at half oast ten, and oa arrival there, two of them who attempted to board the yacht in a email dinghy had the sensational experience of being swamped in rfeep water, and having to swim for the shore. The yacht Dulcie got undar wei«h at 9.30 on Sunday morning and reacted Mayor Island shortly after noon, Though the intention at the start of the voyage was to go hapuka fishing, it was too rough weather to attempt any fishing except in the sheltered waters of the bay, so tnoit of the time was spent in exploring thoisland, There is a good boat harbour on the western aide of the island, but with the galo that; was blowing the Duleio had to shelter in one of the bays on iho I eastern side. Prom the beach there \ is a vory eteap hill to climb to tbe j top of tbe island, there being iron stake* driven in the rock to hold on by, but many I of these stakes aro now nearly rusted through. It was intendod to start for' homo on Monday, but the strong southwesterly galo made it imposnible, so the yacht was taken to a bay further north* east, and herd again in landing in the dinghy two were awept ovorboard by a breaker, but fortunately a »ucceo3ing breaker washed them and tho boat up on the rocks, there being only a pair of' boots lost. The party speftt some time walking along th*s shores of a large lake in one of tho deep ravinoa of the island, and found it teeming with wild duck. Great quantities of Hew Zealand quail were also seen, but 9nly two gig*. At three on Tuosday 1 morning the wind appeared to have gone ! down a little, so by four o'clock the ' Dulcie ' Wfis unite? weitfh i'nr home, but after an an hour out-the gaifl came on with iraorea. sat? force, )! ?he gaita had to bo close reefed, K under ordinary circumstances ¥9 bsea a ihroe hours' run took m hours Very few would have the passage yesterday, as thn iy over fcoai wore brsaMng ip the mast.
