ARREST OF JAPANESE LUGGERS
ALLEGED PEARL POACHING OFF AUSTRALIAN COAST (Received June 16, 9.5 p.m.) DARWIN, June 16. The master of the Commonwealth patrol launch Larrakia (Captain Haultain) reports that he was obliged to release the Japanese mother ship New Guinea Maru, which with two other vessels was alleged to have been pearl poaching, but he arrested the two other Japanese luggers, which being of a shallower draft could negotiate the channels. The Larrakia, which was stranded while awaiting new batteries at Goulburn Island, expects to reach Darwin at the week-end. Local Japanese applaud the action of the Larrakia in arresting the luggers, the masters of which were warned before leaving Japan that they must strictly observe Australian laws or take the consequences.
