PASSENGERS LAND QUICKLY AORANGI HANDLED UNDER NEW SYSTEM [TBS PRESS Special Service.] AUCKLAND, January 20. Handled under the new system of inspection, the Aorangi, which arrived from Vancouver to-day, was cleared at least an hour earlier than she would have been had she been forced to anchor in the stream. The vessel was still turning round the north head when the Customs authorities boarded her at 1.30 p.m., and at 2.15 p.m. her passengers • were walking on to the wharf. Passengers, the ship's officers, and all the officials connected with the berthing of ships, were enthusiastic about the expeditious arrangements, and hoped that they would be continued. Actually, it being early on Sunday afternoon, business men were not materially benefited by the quick handling of the ship, but it was recognised by experienced travellers that or» week-days a great boon will be conferred on the travelling public. Passengerson the Aorangi were inspected by the ship's medical officer on Saturday, and there being no cases of sickness, a radio message to that effect was sent to the port health officer, who, in his turn, gave permission for Customs- officers to board the ship in the stream. In their zeal to make the most of the new arrangements, they were down off the north head long before the ship arrived, and the vessel was boarded without coming to a standstill. "The landing arrangements were splendid," said Mr J. C. Irons, general manager of the Canadian Australasian Line. Limited, who was a passenger on the vessel. "It is certainly a step in the right direction, and one that overseas passengers are sure to appreciate." ANGLO-CANADIAN TO LOAD
