THE RECAPTURE OF THE GERMAN ESCAPEES
The Government and the Naval authorities are to be congratulated on the success which has attended their efforts to recapture tlie German naval prisoners who escaped from Motuihi Island. Under the censorship we are not permitted to publish details of the measures taken for the* recapture of the es : caped men, but we can give assurance 'that they were both prompt and thorough; and that admirable judgment was displayed is evidenced by the circumstances under which tho escapees were retaken.
