On the trip out on the Ruahine a jjreat amount of wlnit some thought was undue strictness was exercised by those in authority (says the Auckland ••Star”). There were only nine pnssen-„ol-S ill tile first saloon, and the second saloon had not a great many p»s-so,„-ers. while tile third class cabins wore very much crowded. A good ileal of friendship sprang up between the •first and second-: lass passengers and while the first-class passengers were allowed to visit the second-class, nothing could induce those in charge to remove the barriers as far as the promenade decks between the two classes were concerned. The whole upper deck of the big steamer was very little used all the way out. One day the whole of tup saloon passengers waited on the captain and asked that the restrictions regarding the decks used by the first and sec-ond-class he removed in the mutual interests of all, but the request was declined and the strictest discipline cont i lined.
