NEW CREWS ARRIVE.
FOR LABURNUM AND
VERONICA,
ROUGH WEATHER CAUSES DELAY.
The new crews of H.M.s. Laburnum and H.M.s. Veronica, who reached Wellington from England yesterday, arrived in Auckland by the Limited express this morning, and proceeded to their ships. The voyage from London was made in the Coriiithic, which was nearly four days late, owing to heavy weather in the Pacific Ocean last week. The relief crews, numbering 145 petty officers and men, were under the command of Com-missioned-Gunner C. Clarke, D.S.C. The men were busy loading their kits into railway trucks at Wellington station when the time-expired men from the Laburnum and Veronica, who had arrived by train to embark in the Tamaroa for England, arrived. Many of the new arrivals saAV service in the war. They are all volunteers for service on the New Zealand station. H.M.s. Laburnum and H.M.s. Veronica will sail on June 17 on a cruise in South Sea Island waters.
