"Why haven't they been taken?" asked the magistrate when the jrirls were placed in the dock. Detective-Sergeant Nalder: The shipping agents are not sufficiently satisfied that these girls came here from Sydney ns they state, on the Mariposa ns stowaways. The agents liave no report from the officers of the ship. We only have their own stories that they came here on the Mariposa.
