PROGRAMME CHANGED
RUAHINE FOR BRITAIN NO SOUTH ISLAND VISIT Special Correspondent WELLINGTON, Nov. 17. The New Zealand Shipping Company’s passenger ship Ruahine, which was to have discharged at Lyttelton and Dunedin after leaving Wellington next Friday, will now finish her discharge at Wellington and will load at Wellington for Britain. Her South Island cargo will be transhipped into the Cornwall, which was put back a week yesterday and is now expected to arrive at Lyttelton on November 28 and Dunedin on December 5. Company officials said to-day that the Ruahine was loading and discharging at one port to save time and to keep her to her original sailing date from New Zealand on December 24. If she had kept to her South Island discharge programme she would have been delayed beyond this date. They stated that there would be no appreciable delay in the arrival of the transhipped cargo in the South Island. Because of thousands of people awaiting passages in Britain every effort was made to keep passenger vessels to as strict a time table as possible.
