  Notes	EARLY DAYS TO THE EDITOR SIR, - A reference by Mr E. Godfred, an early-day resident of Port Chalmers to having shipped on the Wild Deer has revived memories of my landing at Port Chalmers in - I think - the year 1883. The ship Wellington brought out a large number of emigrants. We left Greenock about the same time as the Wild Deer, and there was some speculation as to which would get to New Zealand first. We had a protracted voyage which extended to well over 100 days. I was nine years old at the time, and there were a number of children on board. My late father acted as schoolmaster on the voyage. When Fort Chalmers was reached there was great excitement. We watched the tug puffing down the harbour to pull us into the wharf. We children were all agog, and when the pilot climbed up over the side the first news given out was that the Wild Deer had been wrecked. I could not understand at the time why some of the passengers wept on hearing this, but later I learned that they had friends on board that ship. By last mail I received letters from Home that were posted on August 1. If they had taken as long to come to New Zealand as the ship Wellington took at the time of which I write they would not have been delivered until some time in October. I am etc., A. E. Bateman.
