Last Febr oafy the Gsvierittaent Steamer Tutanekai Visited,the Campbell Islands with a party representing a syndicatu "who have the pastoral ri'gbis over the islands, .taking with them ateo four men under engagement for three months to work the resources of -the islands. Two of these men, when they saw the conditions to be faced", refused to stay, and returned with the party, the others remaining upon the terms that they would be relieved in three months' time. , Six months have now passed, and tho islands have not been revisited, so naturally the relatives of the men are concerned abfcufc their position. The "Otago Daily Times" understands that the employing syndicate states that there are three other men there, and that there are ample provisions but this is not very satisfying to the men's friends, who ask why an essential term of the contract is not being fulfilled. The Government has beeft appealed to, but it takes the view that the removal of men is a matter to be under* taken by the syndicate.
