DESERTIONS FROM SHIPS
ASSUMING VERY SERIOUS PROPORTIONS. TWO MEN SENT TO GAOL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) "WELLINGTON, This Day. Commenting that the number of desertions from Home ships was assuming very serious proportions, Mr J. H. Luxford, S.M., today sentenced William Thomas Cramp (24) and Archibald Thompson (33) to a month’s hard labour for desertion from the Maimoa at Picton on January 23. Mr Luxford said that apparently every endeavour had been made to get the men aboard their ship but they refused to go. For having been found without lawful excuse in a carriage in the railway yards each man was fined £2, in default a week’s imprisonment.
