Arrival of Indian Troops
[By Telegraph—Press Association.] Auckland, last night. ■ The troopship Dalhousie, with the Indian troops, arrived at 9 o’clock this morning. The Dalhousie had a splendid trip across, and the troops are in the best of condition. The officers were met on arrival by Adjutant Reid and Captain McKenzie. The troops will remain on the ship during their stay, cooking their food ashore and hating their meals in a shed on the wharf. They proceed South after the arrival of the Britannic’s officers. They visit Rotorua in a few days. Wellington, last night.
The Indian troops come right through the colony, but not until the Home contingent have concluded their tour. For some days they tvill remain about Auckland, and will probably visit Rotorua, and after the send-off to the British force will come South.
