AT SEA IN CANVAS BOAT,
Adventure of a Malayan Resident,
A hazardous ocean cruise from Auckland to Ouvier Island has just been made by Mr. C. B. Law, an athletic young Englishman, who recently went to Auckland from the Malny States for the
benefit of bis health. In a 12ft.. canvas canoo, with no other pro- visions than a small tin of bis cuits, Mr. Law voyaged 150 miles from Devonport in about three days, during which time, he had "nothing whintever" to drink. -
His original objective was Kawau Island, about 30 miles up the Houraki Gull. Mr. Law set out on in his liule Yessol, which is built of canyas upon a vory stausch frame, and half-decked fitted with one sul sail and a single paddle.
