THE MAORI'S AtriDlOT. Per Press Association. Wellington, Monday. In regard to a complaint by the captain of the Xiwaru that he" failed to get into touch with the Wellington wireless station, and give advice about the Maori's mMiap, the local wireless officials explain that at .1.3.) a.m. on Saturday they heard the Xiwaru calling and endeavoured to get her, but the atmospheric coivKlio'iis were apparently so bad, that they were unsuccessful. At 4.10 the steamer again called, and the local station immediate]v replied without ellVct. At 4.1"), 4.2:!', and 4., i."> ilie station again endeavoured to get in touch with the vessel, but failed each time. The 11.M.5. New Zealand sent messages at 4.13 and i,55 that she had heard tire Xiwaru calling and offered to assist in getting into' touch with the steamer. Finally the message came through at C.lO a.m. and was distributed by the* local station. Why the message was not sent through to Lyttelton was that no vessel there was capable of receiving a wireless telegram and, further, the Maori had advised that she expected to connect with the 8 o'clock express, wh icli meant that the message would have been too late.
