Visit Matua
From a Special Correspondent
Niue Is., July 18.
THE Niue Island Administration re cently instituted a permit system to apply to white residents (only four families outside the Government staff) and non-authorised staff members who wished to visit the USS Co.’s Matua.
All the residents duly applied for their
permits to visit the long awaited ship However, they neglected to place an English-speaking policeman at the wharf to examine the permits. Mr. Kilkenny, Matua’s purser, came ashore to adjust claims, ahd when he tried to get a lighter back to the ship was refused pas sage on the grounds of not having a permit. Mr. Kilkenny, when last seen was looking for the Resident Commis sioner. One hopes that he found the RC and either got a permit or an in terpreter.
