[PRESS association.] LYTTELTON, to-day.' Those on board tho Nimrod were much astonished yesterday as the vessel passed out of the heads to discover a boy of 13 or 14 stoAved away among the stores. The discovery was quite accidental, and the boy might havo gone a long ;.way;b'efor© being found. He said ho wanted toygo^all the way, Naturally it was impossible to take him. A launch happened to como up soon afterwards and the young adventurer was handed, protesting vigorously, over to her. He wept bitterly at the disappointment. He is a Christchurch boy, and it is not beyond ■ suspicion that his parents were not ignorant of his intention.
