NOT ALLOWED TO LAND.
CASE OF ALLEGED DESERTER. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—ecpyrtght. Sydney, June 3. An extraordinary story has been related by Reg. Harkins, who is on the Makura under practically the same circumstances as occurred in tho Paul Freeman case. Harkins explained that he was arrested in Canada as a deserter early in the year and placed on the Niagara. He escaped at Honolulu, but was re-arrested and placed on 'the Makura. Ht was not allowed to land in Canada or Australia and is now com-r-flled to criss-cross the Pacific indefinitely. Harkins contends that it is a case of mistaken identity, as he says that another Harkins is the real desetter. This view is shared by the chief engineer and other officers of the vessel. Harkins is a native of Nebraska, font possesses an alien registration cer-tificate.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
