COULD NOT LAND.

Woman Sent Back From Sydney. The elderly woman passenger by the- Wanganella from New Zealand, v.Qiose landing in Sydney, according to cabled advice last week, the authorities made subject to certain I conditions, returned by the ship, ; which, arrived at Wellington on Monday. Her name is Miss J. Danforth. Miss Danforth said that she is a Canadian, 62 years of age. and that her intention in going to Australia was because of its warmer climate. She left Vancouver on December 12 by the Empress of Canada and spent Christmas and New Year in Honolulu., where later she joined the Aorangi for Auckland. From there she left for Sydney. In an interview Miss Danforth said that she understood it was necessary for her to have 200 dollar?, before she Was able to land in Australia. She had more than that sum, and was in receipt of 50 dollars a month, which had been left to her in the will of a relative. Her father was an American, and he had died when she was very young. She had been adopted by an uncle and had spent nearly all her life in Montreal and north of Montreal. Miss 1 Danforth contended that she had been told in Sydney, when her landing was that she was too old and did not have sufficient money. She had always lived a quiet, peaceful life, and it seemed to her that probably someone had said something against her. She added that she intended to rest a while in New Zealand, but her plans after that were as yet indefinite. She might return to Vancouver. Miss Danforth had with her in her cabin a grey striped cat in a bag. The cat, she said, had been brought by her from Vancouver.
