STEWARDS CERTAIN
LIGHT SEEN FROM ARAHURA PASSED VERY RAPIDLY Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. The four stewards of the steamer Arahura remain unshaken in their
belief that they saw the light of an airplane on Tuesday night at 11.13. They regard it as the exhaust from the engine, and say that they kept it under observation for three min utes. They could hear nothing, but say that the noise on a steamer the size of the Arahura was sufficient to drown the noise of the plane, as distant as this one, which they estimate would be probably eight miles away. The-light moved from a point ahead of the Arahura to a point astern, and could not possibly have been the light of a scow on account of the speed of its movement.
