Apia, Aug. 17.
THE Union S.S. Co.’s tourist cruiser “Maunganui”, arrived at Apia on August 5, with 300 tourists. Owing to a solitary case of measles on board, which was detected after the ship had left New Zealand she was strictly quarantined at Apia. None of the pass engers or crew was allowed on shore.
There had been no quarantine at Tonga and there was none in Fiji, the next port of call. It is reported that the quarantine here was imposed at the request of the Mau. The loss occasion ed by the tourists not coming ashore was estimated to be about £1,0D0.
