ANOTHER LINER LOST.
HOTOHCA TOHPCDOED IN THE CHANNEL. A ETCH LOADING PASSENGERS AT PLYMOUTH. Following the news of the loss of the New Zealand Shipping Company’s steamer Olaki (reported as having been sunk by the raider Moewe) comes word that another liner of the same company has been lost. The manager of the Yew Zealand Shipping Company at Christchurch (Mr Bennett) has received a cablegram stating that the Rotorua had landed her passengers at Plymouth and was proceeding up the English Channel when she was torpedoed. Captain Sutcliffe and all the crew were saved with the exception of one man—a steward named Williams, who signed on at Wellington. In the case of the Olaki the position was not in a way so fortunate, as all the crew were reported to be prisoners of war in Germanv.
