CHATHAM ISLANDERS
ENFORCED STAT IN NEW ZEALAND Bt Telojrtiph—Press Asiooiatlon . Chrlstchurch, July 26. Aboiut thirty residents of the Chatham Islands have been making an enforced stay on the mainland o£ New Zealand, extending over many weeks, owing to their inability to secure steamer passages to the islands. The position was •recently brought under the notice of the Government % Mr. C. Wishart, a prom' inent resident of the Group, and as_ a result of interviews with the Prime Mmjster and the Minister of Marino' the latter ie arranging for the Government steamer Tutanekai to make a trip to the Mauds in about threo weeks' fame. In addition /to the thirty passengers, the Tutanekai will take about fifty tons of general cargo and 15,000 ft. of timber. The general cargo will be particularly welcome at the group, as a considerable time had elapsed since the last steamer from New Zealand paid a call there, and the residents are probably now short of certain supplies. The Tutanekai will make Lyttelton her final port of departure from New Zealand.
