SAILING DELAYED
MEMBERS OF GERMAN CREW 4 DESERT. EIGHT LEFT BEHIND. (By Telegraph—Tress Association.) AUCKLAND, April 14. With eight men still missing, the Hamburg-Amerika steamer Dortmund sailed for Sydney at 8.45 this morning. Of twelve members of the crew who were missing at sailing time last night, four trimmers returned later. The Dortmund, which carries a full German crew of 48 officers and men, has been discharging cargo from the United States on the New Zealand coast, and completed yesterday at Auckland, being scheduled to sail about 8 o’clock last night for Australia. While she was at New Plymouth last week a boy failed to report at sailing time for Auckland. Two men left the ship here on Monday, a further two absented themselves on Tuesday evening, and the remaining seven were missing yesterday afternoon and last night. On each of the absentees a £lOO bond had to be deposited before the Dortmund could clear port.
