Mr. Albert Prettejohn, the steward who died on board, the R.M.M.S. Aorangi on Saturday afternoon, was buried at Hillsborough Cemetery yesterday. The Rev. H. K. Vickery, seamen's chaplain, conducted the service at the graveside, and the “Last . Post” was sounded by a shipmate of Mr. Prettejohn. A Masonic service was afterward conducted by one of the Aorangi’s passengers.
