PORT AWANUI
(From our own Correspondent.) Stormy winter weather has prevailed all the week with heavy seas. The Haupiri passed by on Wednesday. Hope she will have better weather on her return from Auckland.
I regret to report the death of Mr. Baker Milner. He caught a severe cold bringing the body of liis little girl from Gisborne, and never seemed to get over it. Ho is to bo buried at ltiparua. The Morse instruments have now been put into position here and all along the coast by Mr. Kelley. They are now read.y for the operator as soon as ono is appointed for Port A wanui.
Natives and Europeans have bfen sending a lot of applications for sections of land in Mata survey district, coming out on the 25th instant. Mr. George Kirk was duly sworn in as a Justice of tho Peace by Mr. Barton on Monday last. I- see by Mr. Ngata’s speech at Korero that the district has three Maori members. I thought the Hon. J. Carroll was the White Man’s Trouble.
