NEW ARRIVALS.

■ * IN SEARCH OF HOMES. SOME ON THE RANGITANE. FOURTEEN DOMESTIC SERVANTS. With, a total passenger list of 145 in her three classes, the New Zealand Shipping- Co.'s motor vessel Rangitane arrived in the stream from Southampton just before daylight to-day. There -were 12 first-class, 18 second and 115 thirdclass passengers. The Rangitane brought 109S bags of letters and 584 bags of papers and periodicals from the United Kingdom, and five bags of mail from the Panama Canal Zone. Fine ■weather was experienced throughout the voyage. Southampton was left on May 9, and calls were made at Balboa and Pitcairn Island. This is the Rangitane's second visit to New Zealand, and she is in charge of Captain A. W. McKellar. Of the Rangitane's passengers 50 were for Auckland, 63 for Wellington, one for Gisborne, 10 for Lyttelton, seven for Port Chalmers, three for Timaru, two for Sydney and three for Melbourne. There were 20 children on hoard and 125 adults.. Impression of England. Captain M. Pulley, who went through the war as captain in the Seaforth High- - landers, arid who is accompanied by Mrs. Pulley, has. come to New Zealand to settle. He is representative and attorney for the largest gin distillery and wine manufacturers in the world. Quite recently he was in South Africa, and speaking of trade there he said it was just as bad as it was in England. In his opinion the exchange rate on drafts was much too high at present, and this had a very serious effect on trade relationships within the Empire. There was no doubt that there was too much overproduction and not enough buyers. As far as the Old Country was concerned, Captain Pulley thought the people were not "putting their backs into their jobs." Having graduated at Otago University, Dr. A. E. Yandell, F.R.C.S., went Home to continue his studies. He has returned on the Rangitane. During his sojourn in the Old Country he took a postgraduate course at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and Guy's. Dr. Yandell will remain in New Zealand. "Talkie pictures have practically ruined the legitimate vaudeville stage on the Continent of Europe," said Mr. B. Maseulin, who, with Mrs. Masculin, is on his way to Australia to seek engagements in vaudeville. They were last in New Zealand five years ago. Girls Come to Work. A party of 14 domestics came out in charge of Miss E. E. Hemington. Most of the girls have engagements. Miss Hemington, who is making her thirtieth trip as matron in charge of domestics, said the Rangitane girls were of a particularly high class. They could compare more than favourably with previous drafts. Four seamen—three from H.M.s. Pembroke and one from H.M.s. Vivid— came out to join the sloops Veronica and Laburnum. . - Woes of Hungary. Travelling third class with his wife ,was Baron A. Wadas, a Hungarian who, on account of the war, lost practically everything. The. baron, who in his own country is known as Ritter von Karlowa, was connected with a large engineering firm owned by his father which manufactured Diesel engines. He nas come out "to try to get a job," as he put it, in Australia. Speaking through his wife, Baron Wadas said Hungary was in. a deplorable state. "Since the war," he said, "we have lost much of our country. Big slices of it have been cut off in the new map of the world. I have the £80 which is necessary to get us into Australia, and we hope our misfortunes have left us now that avo are so far from our homeland."
