One of the stowaways found on the Awatea was refused permission to land by the immigration officials. He gave the name of J. E. Cornish and claimed that he was Australian-born but as his nationality could not be proved he was locked aboard the ship and will be deported to New Zealand tonight. His companion. Oscar Nyberg, was fined £2 in default fourteen days 'imprisonment for travelling without a ticket in the Awatea and was ordered to pay £9 9s compensation to the Union Company. Nyberg said that he and Cornish travelled more than one thousand miles in New Zealand seeking work.
