Wanganui, March 31. The second ark with which Felix Tanner, of fasting fame, contemplates sailing round the world is ready for launching. It is barrel shaped and built on much the same lines as the ai'k in which Tanner started on his tour from New Plymouth. It is a novel craft, 18ft long with a beam 6fc Gin. He will probably leave Wanganui next week, Ashburton, April 1. A number of piam-clotbes constables, assisted by local police, made a systematic raid yesterday on alleged sly-grog shops, seizing a large amount of liquor in barrels, demijohns and bottles.
