M. S. the Kangaroo, during her voyage home, and reported of very highly by her Commander, Lieut. Jeffries. If the Board would be pleased to direct that these Ropes should be subjected to trial, the Committee will send them to the order of the Board. From the statements made to the Committee they cannot but hope that the use of Rope of this nature, may be the occasion of promoting cultivation and industry in New Zealand.
