Although it was not a long one, the passenger list of the Niagara on her arrival from Vancouver comprised several distinct groups of people. It included' an American revue company of 35, bound for Sydney; about 25 Jewish refugees, all of whom intend to start life afresh in Australia; four wrestlers, of whom three landed at Auckland; and 10 Canadian artisans seeking employment in New Zealand. The eagerness of the refugees to obtain the mail that awaited them was very noticeable, and for some time after delivery was made from the ship’s bureau they could be seen in groups reading the letters and discussing news of friends left behind in Europe.
