FAMILY STOWED AWAY
Mother And Two Daughters (New Zeaiana Press Association) WELLINGTON. April 11. When the luxury cruise ship, Willem Ruys, left Australia, it carried three non-paying passengers—a woman and her two young children —who had stowed away. The family was found after a day at sea They had stowed away with only the clothes they were wearing. When the vessel arrived in Wellington yesterday morning, the trio was taken to the Wellington City Missioner (the Rev. W. Heerdegen), who outfitted them with a complete change of clothing. It is understood the woman was trying to get back to Holland, and it is believed the shipping company will provide her and the I children with free passages.
