CUTTER MARORO
MAKING FOR APIA
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association )
AUCKLAND, January 10
Advice was received by Mr Peter Smith, manager of the Beaver Boat and Engineering Company, to-day that;- the cutter Maforo which disappeared from Auckland on November 18th and was reported to have reached Pago Pago, American Samoa, last Sunday; has left that port, apparently for Apia. When it arrived at Pago Pago the cutter had on board Eugene Fisher, of Auckland who was accompanied bv his Wife, their four children, and step son, A. B. Walker. The boat has been claimed by the Beaver Boat Company as the Maroro, and on Thursday they cabled the Governor at Pago Pago asking if he would hold the vessel until the company sent on its proof of ownership. In reply to this the Governor cabled: “Boat cleared yesterday for Apia.” In view of this advice Mr Smith was unable to say what action would now be taken to recover the cutter. .The police would not undertake to bring- the boat batik from - Pago Pago unless they were indemnified against, expense.
