WON’T GET THERE
STOWAWAYS WARNED WILL LAND AT FIRST PORT Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. When three seamen, Arthur Rowland Barrett, aged 25, Roy Hogarth, aged 27, and Alphouse Bailleul, aged 28, admitted having stowed away on the Mahana on March 23, and who were returned to New Zealand from Colon, counsel for the Savill Company, Mr. L. P. O’Leary, said these cases were very expensive to the company. The equivalent passage money in each case was £SO, so the total costs to the company was £l5O. The company wishes it to be made clear, he said, that in all these cases where stowaways are discovered on board its ships they will, irrespective of cost, be landed at the first port and returned to New Zealand. There is thus little possibility of their reaching the destination they desire. Each man was fined £5, in default seven days’ imprisonment.
