Robert George Eurnard. (18), a kitchen porter, of Dunedin, was sentenced to 28 days' hard labour at Home after stowing away on the s.s. Port Caroline at Auckland on April 14. The prosecuting counsel said that the youth's explanation was that he wanted to get away because of family trouble. Some days previously he had applied for a job on the vessel, but was told there was no vacancy. The lad was a considerable nuisance during the voyage, and at two ports while the ship was bunkered he was taken ashore and kept in custody. Once when brought back, he was put on the bridge under supervision, but escaped over the side of the ship and stowed away in a coal tug. He was found ahd brought back to the ship.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 98.48%.
