"Maui Pomare"

SEVERAL parts of the machinery of the Government motorship Maui Pomare, which maintains the direct N.Z.- Samoa service, were removed, and appar ently deliberately thrown into Auckland harbour.

The engines were being overhauled, and the cylinder heads and piston rings were stowed on deck. They disappeared, and a diver was sent down to search the harbour bed. He found the rings, and it is thought that the other articles are also in the harbour.

Dr. C. H. B. Thompson, Medical Officer of Health at Suva, returned from leave spent in England on May 2.
