STOWAWAYS!
TEN ON PORT HUNTER A RECORD CARGO YOUNG MEN WHO SEEK WORK Ten stowaways arrived in Auckland this morning by the Port H unter. Apparently a new and inexpensive method of reaching New Zealand has been devised by young men from the Homeland. The stowaways are active young fellows who seem to think there will be no difficulty in obtaining wtork in the Dominion. If enthusiasm counts for anything they will not be out of work for long. Not until the Port Hunter was two or three days on her journey from Liverpool to the Panama Canal were the stowaways discovered. It was a record cargo of its kind. They received a little lecture and then the captain put them to work on the vessel until she arrived in Auckland. The stowaways are now 1 in Auckland, looking for work. They were not prosecuted, and they are quite happy in their new surroundings.
