A result of the launch being unable to get out to the s.s. Victoria at Tokoniaru on her trip down the Coast last Tuesday was noticeable at Tologa Bay on Thursday night.

Ada Aliller, alias Hansen, a middle-aged woman, previously convicted of drunkenness within the past six months, was again convicted and was fined £1 with costs 2s. in default 4 days imprisonment.. Tlie belief has been generally held tlia-t captains of the big steamers will not wait a minute if the launch .at Tokomaru Bay is not up to tiyse. Captain Entwistle. of the s.s. A'ictoria, proved himself a notable exception to this rule on Tuesday last. A high sea was running, but the captain brought the Victoria well in, and lay by iuJ.'y lialf-an-hour, sending forth imperious calls on the syren fur the launch. It was deemed too rough to send out the launch, and the Kiritona was despatch, ed to make connection with the tig boat, but by this time the captain of the Victoria had concluded there wis no chance of either -boat coming out-, and 'had headed for the south. Ca >- tain Entwistle was re uctant to pass cn, and had his giasse- on the Kiritona for same time before leaving, but came to the conclusion that she was still lying at anchor. A breaking: sea was running, and had the launch gone out, the passengers would not have had an enviable time, as the launch affords no protection from the jpray. The Kiritona, cn the other hand, is not provided with proper fenders for tendering a boat in a roadstead. However, Captain Entwistle was of opinion that it was quite possible for the launch to come out, and, as before stated, he very reluctantly left the bay without having disembarked his passengers.
