LORD NUFFIELD PAID.
WOMAN STOWAWAY'S FARE.
INCIDENT ON AW ATE A.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELIJNGTON, Monday.
A woman stowaway was discovered on the Awatea a day out from Sydney, stated passengers when the liner arrived at Wellington to-day. She evaded attention during the early hours of the voyage by the simple expedient of sitting in the lounge. The weather was rough, many passengers were seasick, and she escaped notice. When she was discovered a subscription list was circulated among the passengers, but it is understood that Lord Nuffield made a substantial contribution, and that nothinjr further was necessary. The ship's officers declined to discuss the incident. "Her fare was forthcoming; I have not reported her as a stowaway," said Captain* Davey.
