TIDAL-STREAM OBSERVATIONS IN COOK STRAIT.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 3rd November, 1909.

COMMANDER R. A. Edwin, R.N., late Director of the New Zealand Meteorological Office, reports that at 10 a.m. on 4th September, 1909, when steaming alongside the cable-buoy in the New Zealand Government s.s. “Tutanekai,” the flood-stream was found to be running at 5½ knots per hour by patent log. This was two hours and a half after H.W. at Wellington. The rate is somewhat in excess of that given on the Admiralty charts and in the “New Zealand Pilot.”
See “New Zealand Pilot,” eighth edition, 1908, Chapter i, page 19, and Chapter v, page 151.
