A Leak
From Our Own Correspondent
Apia Dec 12
AFTER the arrival of the’ N.Z. Gov ernment motor vessel, “Maui Po mare”, on November 30, it was found that the ship, during the very rough trip from New Zealand, had sprung a leak.
In consequence two pumps, one of them the motor pump of the Apia fire bri gade, were pumping continuously for several days.
Although about 2,000 cases of bananas were lifted, she left behind a large num ber of passengers, mostly Government of ficials. Most of these people will leave Apia to-day by the “Matua” for N.Z.
