JEALOUS ADMIRER?
RAROTONGAN GIRL SHOT FRIENDSHIP WITH STEWARDS Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. When the Makura was at Rarotonga last week two stewards became friendly with a Rarotongan girl, who, on Monday evening, was shot at and wounded in the unlighted streets of the village of Avarua. As a result of her father’s allegations, the stewards were, brought before the resident commissioner, but on their denying having possessed firearms, and after the e.ase had been investigated, they were dismissed and rejoined their ship, which sailed for Wellington the following day. The shot which injured the girl was fired in the dark and one theory is that a native admirer, after seeing her v/ith the stewards, became jealous and committed the crime. The injury is not likely to jJrove serious.
