“HATS OFF!” CAUTION ON THE AORANGI “Hats off before passing the doctor.’ 1 This was the order given to all passengers on the Aorangi, which arrived in the Waitemata from Sydney at daylight this morning. Recent events have been such that the motor-liner was still under suspicion and the health authorities were taking no chances. Even the women were obliged to remove their hats, the object being to enable the examining doctor to see their foreheads, where smallpox has a habit of making a first appearance. The forearm, another likely point for smallpox symptons, was also scrutinised in each case. After the inspection, Dr. J. A. Watson announced that he had found no trace of infection. The Aorangi was a perfectly "clean” ship.
