THE TRIP TO SAMOA.
INFLUENZA ON THE MOKOIA. RUMOR OF A "HOLDUP." By Telegraph.—Press Assor'ation. Dunedin. Last Night. A rumor is persistently heard round the waterfront with respect to the Mokoia's projected trip to Samoa, and the substance of it is that the steamer will experience some difficulty in getting away from New Zealand. The Mokoia is at present being fitted for-the trip at Port-Chalmers. The rumored "hold up" does not seem to be applicable to the workmen who have been carrying out the work required, to'be done on board, despite the fact that a number of influenza cases have had to be removed from her. It was reported to'day that further cases of influenza had developed among the crew. The Ks.ia.poi arrived at Port Chalmers on Sunday evening from Westport, and berthed alongside the Mokoia lo bunker that vessel., This morning, coaling operations did not go on, as the waterside workers declined to go on board the Mokoia because influenza eases are still developing on her. The Katypoi was hauled to another berth to discharge into the hulks.
