MOORING-BUOY IN MILFORD SOUND.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 31st January, 1900.

CAPTAIN RICHARDSON, of the s.s. “Waikare,” reports that while lying at the mooring-buoy in Milford Sound, on the 21st instant, during strong N.W. winds, the buoy dragged nearer to the shore, and is now floating lighter than usual. Mariners should therefore be cautious about using the buoy until the moorings have been examined and overhauled, which will be done by the s.s. “Hinemoa” in a few weeks’ time.
