T>ONSONBY NAVAL ARTILLERY^; Owing to the extensive seaboard of New Zealand, our Naval Defences must ever occupy a plica of the first importance. The public, for whose safety Volunteer Companieshave sprung into existence, ought to do everything }n their power to encourage Naval Corps. The PONSONBY NAVAL ARTDLLKBT numbers among its members some of the finest amateur yachtsmen in the colony, while every man is more or less expert at handling a boat* As these men give their services freely for the defence of Auckland, it would be a grace!nl and ' generous act on the part of the public to provid* them with a suitable vessel for marina manoeuvres in time of peace, and which would be of great servioe In war time. Subscriptions towards this laudable objeot will be received by ■- ; 3Sft J. H. WITHEFORD, . i HhorttoaHrttttt, ;
