CENTRAL WHARF.
NEXT OF HUT ARRANGEMENTS. The general public will not be admitted -to Central wharf until 2 p.m. at the earliest on the day H.M.S. Achilles gets back to port. In explaining this arrangement today, . the chairman of the Auckland Harbour Board, Mr. W. B. Darlow, said that in the morning the wharf was to be entirely reserved for the next-of-kin of the men of the Achilles. "There will be many scenes on the wharf on that morning of a purely private and domestic nature," he said, "and it has been decided that there shall 'be no idle sightseers to interrupt the family reunions." Mr. Darlow said that next-of-kin tickets were being issued only to those entitled to receive them and there would be rigid exclusion from the wharf of the general public. Not even member* of the Harbour Board's staff would have special privileges.
