Mr S. Hovell, of Waihi, in a letter to the Auckland Star says ; “I am writing to you in reference to the report that the marooned boat’s crew at the Alderman Islands, in the Bay of Plenty, ran short of water. In company with Mr Reg. W. Bell, dentist, of Coromandel, by brother and I spent a week there, rendering down two whales which were stranded, and during our stay we discovered a beautiful spring giving off a plentiful supply of clear, cool water. The spring is just above high' water mark on the western side of the furthest-out island of the group. W 7 e wore there during a very dry spell in mid-summer.”

An interesting discovery was made at the Maori workshop at Bowentown last week by Messrs R. W". Bell and S. M. Hovell, of Waihi ,(says the New Zealand Herald). Westerly gales had moved the sand and exposed a portion of this ancient Workshop. A further investigation was then made, with the result that an almost complete set of stone and bono implements associated with Maori work was found embedded in the sand. Ultimately about 200 stone adzes, gouges, anvils, and hammers, together with a number of pieces of moa and whalebone implements and greenstone articles, were unearthed. The curator of the Auckland Museum, Mr T. F. Cheesemon, who had already visited the recently discovered workshop, says that the articles will prove a valuable adjunct to the museum which it has been proposed to erect in the Auckland Domain.
