A STOWAWAY
TO BE DEPORTED. AUCKLAND, June 17. Fritz Kreuzer, aged 21, who dived overboard from the Mariposa, appealed at the .Police Court charged witn vagrancy and with entering New Zealand witnout a permit. At ter the police described his escape. Magistrate Hunt said it was a good swim from near the naval base to northern wharf. He was ordered to be deported. Meanwhile lus countrymen are anxious ror his release from custody on bond. Although it seems definite that Kreuzer will have to leave New Zealand, numbers 01 offers to employ him have been received. Negotiations to obtain his release on bond were instituted after the couri proceedings, but nothing'definite has oeen done. The Austrian Trade Commissioner. Mr 0. J. Thedens, who is also President of the German Club has been taking an active part in the interest of Kreuzer. Mr Thedens stated that up to £ICOO could be made available for a bond for the stowaway, if such i sum were necessary. It is remarkable what a number ol' people have been interested in the case. One farmer came from the country to the city and informed Mr The den s that he would have no hesitation in finding a position on his property for Kreuzer. Striking as that offer was, it has been only one of numbers. The German Club, through its connections, is in a position to point to several opportunities to employ the young man
