Another telegram states :— -Mail just in. Au extra states that the new mail contract has failed. This is quite untrue. The service commences, I think, this month.

This is the first day of the route via Cambridge and Tauranga. It is, I think, now regularly established. The Luna is coming round to this side. She is not yet in.

There is therefore a reasonable hope that this line may be permanently kept open and that we may at no distant date expect to *cc the missing link in our chain from the Bluff to Auckland supplied.
