Owing to the extensive seaboard of New Zealand, our Naval Defences mußt ever occupy a place o£ the first importance. The public, for whose safety Volunteer Companieshave sprung into existence, ought to do everything in their power to encourage Naval Corps. Tho PONSONBY NAVAL ARTILLERY numbers among Its members some of the finest amateur yachtsmen in tho colony, while every man is more of less expert at handling a boat As theso men give their services freely for tho defence of Auckland, it would be a peaceful and generous act on tho part o£ the public to provide them with a suitable vessel for marine manoeuvres in timo of peace, and which would b2 o£ great sen-ice in war time.
